Who are some key returning players for the team and what do you hope to see from each of them this year?
Jacob Hayes, senior (uncommitted)RHP/IF–Had a fantastic year last year with five HR’s and six wins on the mound. Hoping for more of the same this year.
Staely Moore, senior RHP(Bellevue CC commit)–will be one of the league’s top pitchers.
Xavier Pateli (senior) and Jonathan Evans (senior)-speed and defense in the outfield
Riley Mitchell (junior), Andrew Van Egdom (sophomore) and Jake Andrew-great infield defense
Toby Esqueda (sophomore) could have one of the stronger bats in the league
Who are some key underclassmen that are moving up in the program and can make an impact? What do you hope to see from each of them this year?
Jack Metcalf (sophomore) is an outstanding young catcher and Bo Mager (sophomore) is a talented player who can play multiple spots.
Reed Myers (sophomore), Kannin Crews (junior), and Tyler Olson (sophomore) also are competing for spots.
What areas will you be focusing on early in the season?
Like every year, trying to get a lot of pitchers work so that we aren’t over-reliant on one or two guys so that we can be in a good spot at the end of the year.
What are the expectations and goals for the team in 2023?
HIgh expectations, but our league is very tough, as is our district and 2A baseball in our state as a whole. There’s a lot of good programs out there.
