Prep Baseball Nebraska strives to be the most comprehensive source of player information across the state. Prep Baseball is the number one resource for high school baseball in each state that we cover through various events, boots-on-the-ground scouting staff, daily coverage, and multimedia platforms. Our multimedia platforms and events work together, creating each state's most potent high school baseball promotion source.

"Millard West lost it's starting infield from 2024 but returns 13 pitchers with varsity pitching experience. Recovering from some early season injuries along with figuring out some infield positions will give a lot of players a chance to earn some varsity experience."

Coach's Comment:
"Coming off a Legion State Tourney berth last summer, our 11 seniors will provide good leadership. We also have a nice mix of sophomores and juniors who will be major contributors. Markus Chandler, Reid Beberniss, Harrison Yeager and Anthony Barone should give us a solid rotation, with several others vying for relief innings. Tre Savoie and Nikola French provide a sold duo behind the plate. French, Chandler, Yeager and senior Jack Schulz will lead the offense with juniors Liam Cronican and Ben Everroad looking to build off a successful summer season."
