Leading up to the start of the high school season, we will count down the top 50 preseason teams every day as part of our comprehensive season coverage. The top 50 teams are picked from all classifications, and are not divided up by 

Team: Limon
Preseason Rank: 48
2016 Record: 19-5
Conference: Union Pacific League
CHSAA Class: 2A
Head Coach: Rocky Rockwell
Playoff Run: Lost to Alexander Dawson 13-4 in the 2A State Championship game.
2016 Final Rank: 49
Returning Starters: 4
Returning Pitchers: 1

TOP PLAYERS:
Cole Younger, 2018
Brett Brewer, 2017
Hauk Hubbard, 2019

OTHER PLAYERS WHO MIGHT MAKE AN IMPACT:
Drew Albers, 2018

KEY PLAYERS LOST:
James Larson
Joe Stephen

Stat Rat:  The Badgers get people in scoring position they had 109 steals as a team last year.

Bottom Line:  Limon made a great run last year, losing to the Dawson school in the 2A State Championship game.  Youth will be replaced with experience this season as Limon was not hit very hard by graduation.  Look for Hauk Hubbard to become the ace of the staff, last year as a freshman he went 3-0 and racked up 57 K’s.  At the plate, the Badgers will be led by Brett Brewer who hit .305 last season with 20 hits and 15 stolen bases.  The 2017 team always has a tough road to get to the post season, but we look for them to be playing late into may.
