2021 Spring Team Preview: Fairview Apaches

Team Name: Fairview Apaches
Head Coach: Andrew Singer
Division: III
2019 Record: 18-7
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 7/5

2021 Team Strengths:

  • Pitching Depth
  • Speed
  • Experience
  • Solid defense

Coach Outlook: "We have a solid group of athletic baseball players this year. They lost the spring of seeing pitches but we were able to get a few games in the summer to get back on track. These players are competitors and will work hard to get to the level they need to be. We have a core of seniors that have a lot of varsity experience in all sports and will lead us throughout the season. Our underclassmen have proven this past summer that they can compete and push the older athletes as well. We are heavily senior and junior dominated but have a handful of youthful players that will get some varsity action. This experience should help us compete at the level we expect. We continue to have a solid core of speed, strength, and desire that will be our focus throughout the season."
