OUTLOOK
Coach Gonzalez - "2025 shows tons of promise for the Marathon High School Baseball squad. After an offseason of growth in the weight room, our veteran leaders look to bring a much-needed power presence to the middle of the lineup to go along with great speed up at the top. On the hill, we lost our senior hurler upper 80's guy Dylan Ziels (palm beach state) to graduation, so building a rotation was at the forefront. We will enter the 2025 season having established 3 true starters all in the 80-84 range with some nice young arms developing out of the pen. We look to continue our stout defense in 2025. ".
