Season Outlook

The Bullpups are going for their fourth consecutive AVCTL-III Conference title in 2018.  Senior Dylan Werries, a Butler County commit, has started since his freshman season and gives the Bullpups a leader on the field.  McPherson will rely heavily on pitching and defense this spring.  Seniors Gunnar Reiss, Wyatt Seidle and Zane Myers each earned All-League honors in 2017 and will continue to develop to help McPherson get back to the state tournament.  Junior Gabe Hoover is a multi-sport athlete that can play any position on the field and will be an offensive threat this spring.  Look for Hoover to have an impact on the infield or in the outfield after catching last spring.  The Bullpups look to take the next step and compete for a state title in 2018.
