2024 Spring Team Preview: Walled Lake Central Vikings

Team Name: Walled Lake Central Vikings
Head Coach: Tyler Troyer
Division: 1
2023 Record: 17-17
2023 Tourney Finish: District Finals loss to Lakeland
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 6/6

Coach Outlook: "We will have a young team with some returning seniors mixed in. We are a very poised group that has worked very hard over the course of the offseason. We want to change the way that teams view WLC Baseball and the players have started to buy in to wanting to be great. We purposely scheduled outstanding programs for our non-conference games (Novi, Northville, Seaholm, Livonia Churchill, L'Anse Creuse North) to be battle tested for playoffs and everyone is super eager to get going. We play in a very competitive league where Lakeland has dominated the past five or so years, and we are hoping to compete for the league this year."
