The Baseball Club at the University of Central Florida or KBC (Knights Baseball Club), was formed in the year 2000. During the spring of 2000, two groups of UCF students who had been playing in a local Orlando men’s baseball league decided join together and form a team called the “Knights”. Then in the fall of 2000, the team was officially granted club status by UCF. From 2000-2002 the team competed in the Orlando branch of the NABF (National Adult Baseball Federation). Each fall and spring, the team consistently finished with a winning record, though they never took home a league championship.

In 2003, the Baseball Club switched leagues and joined the Central Florida branch of the American Amateur Baseball Congress, or CFAABC. After compiling a regular season record of 16-4, the Knights reached the playoffs but failed to advance, as they lost in the first round to the Orlando Braves.

The CFAABC merged with the Orlando NABF in 2004, and the league expanded to 16 teams. This also marked the first year in which the team competed with wood bats. The Knights finished the regular season with an outstanding record of 20-4-1, and first place in their division. In the first round of the playoffs, the team lost the third game of a best-of-three series again against the Orlando Braves.

In 2005, the CFAABC changed its name to the Central Florida Amateur Sports Baseball League, or CFAS. The Knights completed the season strong with a record of 15-5, and again lost the third game in a best two-out-of three series in the first round of the playoffs, though this time to the Florida Cardinals.

In 2006, the Knights joined the National Club Baseball Association for its first full season of intercollegiate baseball as part of the Dixie Baseball Conference. After finishing the regular season with a 9-3 record and a conference championship; 1. the Knights made a trip 2. to the South Atlantic Regional Tournament, but unfortunately dropped both of their contests to nationally ranked NC State and UNC Charlotte. As for in the CFAS, the Knights did not have as much luck going 9-15, good for 3rd place in their division but failing to make the playoffs.

Continued expansion of the NCBA led to the formation of the Sunshine Conference for the 2007 season. With a conference record of 10-7, overall 13-8, the club finished 2nd place in the conference one game behind FSU. The Knights also participated in the CFAS for the final time. After taking home 2nd place in the Pre-Season Tournament, they finished the season third in their division with a record of 11-14. Even with an overall winning record of 24-22, the club failed to reach any postseason.

In 2008 the KBC experienced its worst season. After going 1-13 in NCBA conference play, 3-18 overall, they finished at the bottom of the South Atlantic Conference-South.

2009 was a rebuilding year for the Baseball Club as they finished the NCBA season 4-11 in their conference, and 4-16 overall.

The team continued to improve in 2010 going 6-6 in the NCBA SAC-South, good for a 3rd place finish, and went 8-15 overall.

The club received its first taste of national exposure in 2011 by being ranked #15 and #18 in the NCBA Top 20 Poll in weeks 41 and 47. After finishing the regular season at 16-4 (12-3 in conference) the club got an at-large bid to the NCBA South Atlantic Regional Tournament. Unfortunately, after dropping both of their games to #10 Appalachian State and #7 FSU, they were knocked out.

A 2012 regular season record of 16-8(10-5 conference) allowed the club to finish in 2nd place and receive a runner-up bid to regionals where they battled #19 Clemson, #4 Florida and #2 Georgia for a spot in the NCBA World Series. After losing their opening game to Georgia, the KBC ran through the loser’s bracket ending both Clemson and Florida's seasons. This set up a final matchup again against Georgia. Needing a sweep to advance to the World Series, they pulled off the upset in Game 1 to snap Georgia's 23-game win streak however they were not able to pull out the final winner take all game. This performance garnered them a #18 ranking in Week 25 and a #19 ranking in the final NCBA Top 20 poll of the season.

2013 saw the most successful KBC campaign to date. They finished the regular season with a 21-3 record (10-2 in conference) and clinched the SAC-South title. After coming into the season unranked, they spent the entire season in the NCBA Top-20 Poll, and remained in the Top 10 for twelve consecutive weeks, reaching as high as #4. Heading to the South Atlantic Regional, they faced off against the same three teams as 2012; #6 Georgia, #10 Clemson and unranked Florida. After defeating both Clemson and Georgia, the Knights faced off against conference rival Florida for a spot in the NCBA World Series. The Gators took the first game which set up a final winner take all. With UCF leading going into the bottom of the 9^th, Florida scored two runs to win it 4-3. The Knights finished the season ranked #11 and also took home the coveted UCF Sport Club of the Year award.

With even more NCBA expansion in 2014, the club secured their second NCBA South Atlantic-South Conference championship in a row with a 20-4 record (15-3 in conference), and made their 4th consecutive trip to Regionals, the first time as the #1 seed. Unfortunately after taking care of #20 Clemson twice, they could not advance after falling to #9 Florida in the semifinals and again in the finals. However 2014 did mark another season in which UCF showed they are one of the top NCBA programs in the country. After coming into the season ranked 12^th they spent the rest of the year within the Top-10 reaching as high as #4 and finishing at #10. 

The Knights made their 5th consecutive trip to the NCBA South Atlantic Regional Tournament in 2015; after going 21-5(11-4), good for a 2nd place conference finish, and earning them the regional at-large bid. The season came to an end however after a pair of one-run losses to Georgia and Clemson. UCF started the season ranked #9 and finished at #18 while reaching as high as #2(highest ranking in club history) for four consecutive weeks.

A 13-5(8-4) record along with a 2nd place conference finish in 2016 helped the Knights clinch the South Atlantic at-large bid, and sent them to their 6th straight regional tournament. In LaGrange, they knocked off both Alabama and Coastal Carolina but were not able to get past #2 FSU and advance to the NCBA World Series. UCF remained a nationally top ranked team throughout the year, coming in at #15, finishing at #10 while peaking at #5.

The 2017 season will certainly go down as one of the best in team history. The Knights began the season right where the left off ranked 10^th in the nation. Even by playing within one of the toughest NCBA conferences, they finished the regular season with a 17-4 (10-2 conference) record and clinched the South Atlantic-South title. At Regionals, the Knights swept through the bracket defeating both Alabama and Florida. After UF knocked out #2 Clemson, the finals saw a match-up of conference rivals, and with the 2-1 victory UCF earned its first-ever NCBA World Series berth. KBC then went to Holly Springs as the #3 seed, and they opened the tournament with a 17-2 win over Penn State in Game 1. In their second game, UCF came back down late to beat Texas State, sending the Knights to the semi-finals where they faced the defending champs Nevada. The Wolfpack took the first game, but UCF would prevail in the winner-take all game sending UCF to the National Championship. In what the NCBA is calling the greatest National title game ever played, UCF locked up with #1 ECU through nine scoreless innings. Eventually however the Pirates pushed across a run to win the game in the bottom of the 10^th. After a tremendous season, UCF finished as #2 in the nation.

The continued success and growing popularity of the club lead to the formation of an NCBA Division II team at UCF in 2018. In their inaugural season, the D2 team finished the regular season with a 12-7 (8-4) record, good for a second-place finish in the Dixie-South Conference and an at-large bid to regionals. After beating #17 Georgia Southern in their opening game, they were defeated by a tough Longwood University team in round two. However, they bounced right back to beat conference rival #18 USF to again take on Longwood in the regional finals. Needing two straight wins to advance to the Div 2 World Series, UCF took game one in extra innings. The regional final saw a tight back and forth affair that UCF eventually lost by a score of 14-12. With an outstanding performance in their first year, D2 was able to garner some national recognition by concluding the season as the #20 team in the NCBA DII National poll. Coming into 2018 as the #2 ranked team in the nation, and fresh off of their first NCBA World Series and National Championship appearance, expectations for D1 were at an all-time high. After finishing the season with a record of 20-4 (8-4), that included wins against three NCBA D1 conference champions- Wisconsin, Mizzou, and Drexel at the NCBA Spring Training Showcase. As well as sweeping a D2 conference champion in USF, and also taking the season series vs eventual conference champ FSU. This performance clinched them the at-large bid to the NCBA South Atlantic Regional Tournament. Game one of regionals saw UCF drop a close game to #18 Alabama, but then with their season on the line, they went on to defeat #17 Georgia and destroy Alabama in a rematch. This set up a colossal matchup with in-state rival #4 Florida State with a NCBA World Series bid on the line. In what became and epic slugfest, a game that saw four UCF homeruns and six lead changes, UCF ultimately fell by a score of 11-10 to end their season, and finish the year with a 10^th place national ranking. With another phenomenally successful year by both the D1 and D2 teams, KBC went on to win its second UCF Sport Club of the Year award.

2019 saw an eight-year postseason streak come to an end the club, as D1 began the season ranked #11 in the nation, and peaked at #9, before hitting a rough patch and falling out of the poll midway through the season. They went on to a 4th place finish in their conference with an overall record of 8-9 (7-8 in conference). It was a similar story for D2, as they were pre-season ranked #16, and remained within the top-20 until the final few weeks of the year before falling to a 3rd place finish in their conference with a record of 7-7 (7-5 in conference).

The 2020 season will be remembered as being prematurely cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic. D1 had put together the club’s most ambitious regular season schedule to-date, with a 27-game slate including matchups against each of the top-4 teams in the country. At the time of the shutdown, they sat in second place in their conference with a 4-1 record (7-6 overall) and were in prime position for a postseason bid. As for D2, their season had really just begun as they were in 4^th place in their conference with a 1-2 record (1-5 overall).

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, UCF did not allow the club to compete in the 2021 season.

The Knights were back on the field in 2022. D1 got off to a hot start sweeping both of their first two series of the year and cracking the NCBA Top-20 poll at #15. Then after taking two of three from conference rival FSU, they sat in first place in the conference and were ranked #6 in the nation heading into spring break. However, coming out the second half they found themselves in a slump losing 5 in a row. This unfortunately allowed FSU to take control of the conference, and slowly slide them down and out of the Top-20. Although they were able to win 6 of their last 7 games to finish the season 16-11 (12-3 conference), it was not enough as they fell one win short of making the postseason. On the D2 side, they also got off to a good start at 5-2 and cracked the Top-20 at #16. They then had their biggest conference match-up of the season vs. UF D2, in which a hard-fought series saw them lose two of three and fall out of the national rankings. Following that series, a quick two-game set with D1 FGCU saw a surprising game 2 victory which seemed to galvanize the team heading into the break. After, they went on to win 10 of their next 12 games, of which 6 were come from behind victories including 4 walk-offs. This setup a final make-up game with Embry-Riddle. Needing a win to secure second-place in the conference and making them postseason eligible, they again rallied to pull out the 5-4 win to finish the season 18-7 (11-4 conference). D2 was then awarded the at-large bid to regionals. In game 1 they took on #5 Georgia College, whom the split a pair of games earlier in the season. Unbelievably the rallied from a late 7-1 deficit to win it 12-9. However, the magic soon wore out as they dropped their second game vs. #3 High Point and then their semi-final re-match with Georgia College. 

Both D1 and D2 teams entered the 2023 season unranked, however each received votes in their respective pre-season NCBA Top-20 polls. Both teams also got off to tremendous starts while having great first halfs of the season. Going into Spring Break, D1 was 10-2, first place in their conference, and ranked #7 in the nation. Likewise, D2 was 7-2, also first place in their conference, and ranked #17. D2 continued to roll in the second half, making quick work wrapping up the Dixie-South Conference title going 14-1 (17-4 overall), toping out at #5 before settling at #9 going into Regionals. At Regionals, D2 walked-off #3 Georgia Southern in their first game and then walked-off North Georgia in game 2. They then hung on to a 1-run win in a re-match with North Georgia in game 3, to send them to their first NCBA World Series appearance. D2 went into the World Series ranked #3 but after losing a close game with #5 Missouri S&T and then being knocked out by #4 Temple, they finished the year ranked 7^th in the nation. Due to an FGCU sweep over FSU, D1 found themselves in a three-way dog fight in the second half of the season. With only two teams being postseason eligible, D1 would need both series wins on the road, to clinch either the conference title or the at large bid tiebreaker. First up was a trip to FGCU. After splitting the Saturday doubleheader, D1 rallied for a 9^th inning comeback in game 3 to win the series and boost them up to 5^th in the nation. Coming into the final series with FSU, all three teams were separated by only one game in the standings. D1 dropped a tough first game, but rallied from being down six runs in game two to pull out the win. So it would all come down to the final game of the regular season. Game three had an astonishing 10 lead changes but in the end, saw D1 lose on a walk-off sac fly in the 9^th to end their season with an 18-6 record (11-4 conference).
