OUTLOOK:  

Despite losing several key pieces from a regional championship squad, the expectations don't change for the Hamilton Badin program: win a state title. Coach Treadway leads one of the state's most successful programs over the past five years. Senior Zack Gray returns to provide a big punch in the middle of the order after hitting .375 with 32 RBI. Junior Alex Holderbach provides stability up the middle and at the plate after hitting .354 with 24 RBI last season. For Coach Treadway, the biggest question may come on the mound. Senior Cameron Mohr provides experience after logging going 4-1 while logging 36.2 inning and compiling a 2.29 ERA. Finally, as one graduating class leaves, the doors open for a new batch of underclassmen. Keep an eye on Cole Heflin, Logan Heintzman, Zack Larkin, and Josh Jarvis, who will have a growing role for the Rams this spring.
