The 2021 baseball season should be an interesting season. With no games last spring and few pick up games during the summer, we are hopeful our younger players can step right in and compete. Seniors Jack Scott and Caden Schmidt will be required to play multiple positions until our younger players can get up to speed. Jack and Caden will be holding down the infield, along with pitching and catching duties. Carter McPheron is our only junior on the team this year. With the missed season lat year, we will be looking for our Carter to get innings on the mound and make a difference at the plate.
Sophomores Colton Schuh, Dawson Schmidt, Logan and Braxton Ebben, along with Bennett Wilcox will be expected to compete for time right away. This sophomore group can play multiple positions and we are hoping we can get a bunch of pitched innings from these guys. Freshmen Ty Marcks, James Munchie, Bennett Schmidt, and Gunnar Baker will be putting in some hard work and this could lead to some of the freshmen competing for spots right away. Our group will be very young competing against many teams that will be heavy with seniors. We will find out if the younger players have benefited from playing lots of baseball in their previous years. We are hoping that our high amount of baseball IQ leads the way to early success. We have players who like to play baseball and compete for their school. We are looking forward to the season and watching our team get better every day.
