Swan took things over offensively for the Ravens in this one. Simple approach with plate coverage. Stays through the baseball well. @rrhsravensbsbl | @coeliteathletic pic.twitter.com/6jPYIvw22z

2025 SEASON OUTLOOK:
"Our high school baseball team’s strengths lie in our pitching and defense. On the mound, we have a solid rotation of pitchers who consistently throw strikes and keep opposing hitters off balance. Defensively, our players take pride in their ability to make routine plays look effortless while also stepping up in high-pressure situations. Together, these strengths give us a competitive edge in close games and keep us in contention throughout the season. While our team excels in pitching and defense, hitting has been an area where we’ve struggled at times. We’re working on developing more consistent at-bats and improving our ability to capitalize on scoring opportunities. With continued focus and effort, we’re confident this aspect of our game will improve as the season progresses." -Coach Garza
