2023 OUTLOOK:
"This is the most experience we have brought back in many year, even though we will be without a couple kids due to injuries sustained in other seasons. We bring back all pitchers and hopefully the experience they gained last year makes them more confidence. Big boost getting Alex Lea back in the lineup after a knee injury ended his season last year. We will focus each and every day on just getting better and improving as a team."
Matt Kittelson, Blooming Prairie Head Coach
