2025 Spring Team Preview: Kalamazoo Christian Comets

Team Name: Kalamazoo Christian Comets
Head Coach: Jim Deters
Division: 3
2024 Record: 28-6
2024 Tourney Finish: Regional Semifinal loss to Jonesville
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 9/10

Coach Outlook: "We return everybody from a team that finished the regular season near the top of the polls. KC should be one of the top teams in D3 heading into the 2025 season. Lead by a pitching staff with depth, the Comets should be competitive in almost every game this year. We will play a challenging schedule that will hopefully prepare us for the tournament at the end of the year."

2025 Team Strengths:

• Depth
• Pitching
• Defense
