As we lead up to the start of Wisconsin's spring high school season we will be rolling out team previews from schools across the state. 

Team: Sun Prairie
2013 Record: 26-2
Conference: Big 8
WIAA Class: 1
Head Coach: Rob Hamilton
Playoff Run: State Champions

Returning Starters: 5
Returning Pitchers: 1

TOP PLAYERS
Sam Lund, RHP, 2014
Kanyon Fellers, LHP, 2015
Justin Krebs, SS, 2014
Ryan Curran, OF, 2014
Conner Funnell, OF, 2014 (UW-Oshkosh)
Michael Garvey, C, 2014
Michael Brekke, 1B, 2015
Michael Marchese, OF, 2014

KEY PLAYER LOST
Tony Butler (Virginia)
Zach Fairchild (Bradley)

STAT RAT
Sam Lund went 10-0 on the mound last year with a .92 ERA.

OUTLOOK
The Cardinals are coming off of back-to-back state championships but it will be tough for Sun Prairie to make it a three peat. The Cardinals will have to reload on the mound and Coach Hamilton is hoping for big things out of LHP Kanyon Fellers on the mound this year. Fellers quite possibly could have the best curveball in the 2015 class and as his first year on varsity he will be put to the test. The middle of the offense is gone from last year’s team the entire outfield returns in Funnell, Marchese and Curran. Coach Hamilton is hoping that the 2014 Cardinals can rely on their defense and some young pitchers stepping up this year.

NOTE: Any high school coaches that have not turned in their PBR Preseason Questionnaire please do so to Steve Nielsen at [email protected].
