“Baseball is a sport that starts in the fall and carries over to the winter, to begin in the spring. Our program has made a shift to be active in all three seasons,” head coach Michael Plank said. “I would recommend following the program on social media as young as middle school to get opportunities to put work in. This winter we had 6-8 middle school players working out with our varsity players three nights a week.”
