2023 OUTLOOK:
"We had a lot of 1 or 2 run losses last year that we hope to be on the better end of those outcomes. We have a good core of guys returning and have some younger kids that should compete for playing time. Our top pitchers from last year are back. We are going to miss our returning all-conference player in Kyle Nelson due to a football injury. He could be back towards the end of the season and if not, we look forward to having him back in 2024. We also lost senior Will Resch to season ending surgery and Reese Tripp to early graduation to start football at the U of M."
