The Helmsmen baseball wheel logo, a more specific-version of the original, was designed by current Coach Mark Yoshino with a bat as part of the wheel spokes with spinning ball inside. The script logo along with the script B was introduced in the early 2010’s as the team’s famous pinstripe uni- forms, the same ones from 2002, branded the script logo as part of Bellevue baseball.
