2024 Spring Team Preview: Upper Arlington Golden Bears

Team Name: Upper Arlington Golden Bears
Head Coach: Sam Clark
Division: I
2023 Record: 20-8
2023 Tourney Finish: Sectional Final loss to Gahanna Lincoln
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 4/3

Coach Outlook: "Last year was a successful regular season, however, we fell short of our goals in the tournament. This year we have just as talented of a roster, with a combination of returning starters and eager new faces. We will lean on our senior class to lead and build off of last year's success while using our missed goals as fuel to stay present in the moment. I'm excited to see this team come together and carry the torch passed off by last year's 13 seniors."
