Prep Baseball Report Kansas

As we prepare for our 2014 high school preseason coverage we are going to take a quick glance at teams from across the state.

Team: Pittsburg
Nickname: Purple Dragons
Class: 5A
League: Southeast Kansas League
Head Coach: Keith Matlock
Years as Head Coach at School: 2
2013 Overall Record: 12-10
2013 Post-Season Finish: Lost in sub-state semifinals
Returning starters: 5
Pitchers with 15+ Innings Returning: 4

TOP PLAYERS

Pat Biggs, C, Class of 2015
James Clark, IF, Class of 2015
Drake Markley, RHP/1B, Class of 2015
Ryan McNeely, RHP/3B/OF, Class of 2015
Dante Richardson, RHP/OF, Class of 2015

OUTLOOK:  

With the loss of All-Southeast Kansas performers Nick Vacca and Spencer Bernhardt the Purple Dragons fortunes will rest mostly on the strength of their junior class - in particular, two-way player Dante Richardson and catcher Pat Briggs.
