2023 OUTLOOK:
"Our expectations for this year are to be a team that competes for our conference title and to be in the section championship game. Our keys this spring will be to challenge hitters and play solid defense. Offensively, we look to put the ball in play and get on base. We will continue to be a team that looks to be aggressive on the bases and manufacture runs. We will look for younger players to step up and fulfill important positions and roles."
Brandon Wilhelmi, Springfield Head Coach
