2015 OUTLOOK
Waukee has high hopes to return to the Iowa State Baseball Tournament again in 2015. The team has experience returning on the mound with 3 of their top 4 starters back. They also return 3 outfielders who started in 2014; as well as catching experience. The Warriors will have to re-build their infield with losses to graduation and develop a consistent line-up with new faces. Waukee is very deep this season with many players challenging for innings on the mound and at-bats during the season.
