The Cebu Dolphins are a baseball team in the Baseball Philippines formed in 2007 as one of its charter members. Owned by Industrial Enterprises and assigned in the league's South Division, the Dolphins won their first championship during the league's Series 2.
Along with four national team members, the team is composed mostly of past and present players from the De La Salle Green Archers in the UAAP and a few coming from the Cebu province. The team is coached by DLSU and national softball team coach Isaac Bacarisas.
Cebu was among the top teams in Series 1 by posting a clean 4-0 elimination round slate only to lose to eventual champion Makati Mariners in the semis and then to the Manila Sharks for third place. The Dolphins, however, recovered in Series 2 by posting a seven-win, three-loss card after the elimination before ousting Dumaguete for the division title. They then went on to defeat the Sharks in a grueling three-game matchup which saw an impressive pitching effort by Joseph Orillana.
