International

Between 2008-2010 Baumgartner was a member on the Swiss U15, U16, and U17 National teams.[7] He never played an official match with the youth squads, making him eligible to play for El Salvador. In 2012, he was discovered by Salvadoran scouting blog SelectaTalent.[3] he caught the attention of the Salvadoran Football Federation and was called in to a Pre-U20 WC qualifier camp. Head coach Mauricio Alfaro was impressed by his abilities on the pitch, and ability to adapt to a country where he didn't speak the language. He was named to the final roster and played every minute in the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup Qualifiers in Puebla, Mexico, where the team went on to qualify to the first U-20 World cup in the history of Salvadoran football.[8]

In the summer of 2013, he was named to the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup roster.[9] He played every minute of the World Cup group stage. In November 2014, he was named to the U-21 Roster to play the Central American and Caribbean Games that took place in Veracruz, Mexico.[10] Once again Marvin played every minute for the National team.
