Freshman Leo Nordick (P, 1B) and eighth-grader Nathan Bermel (P, 2B) will be expected to step up and contribute at the varsity level.
“We are a young team and if we can get some solid pitching we should be able to compete,” said Coach Weinrich. “We will work hard on defense and try to eliminate mistakes. I’m excited to see the growth in all our players. Our captains, Zayne and Evan, have done a great job leading this team. Both have really ran with the leadership opportunity which is great to see! We are low in numbers and will be putting some kids on the field who have not played baseball before which is a real challenge.”
Weinrich says Ashby and Border West are the teams to beat in the Pheasant Conference and Section 6A.
