2021 OUTLOOK:
The Wolverines return 11 Varsity players from last year's 9-10 team and we are excited about the people and talent returning in 2021, including 6 Seniors and 5 Juniors. We will have great depth throughout the field this year with many players who have a ton of experience at different positions.  This year's senior class is extremely competitive, hard-working, dedicated baseball players. We will be looking for their leadership this year in order to build off last year's season. We are extremely excited about the opportunity to get back to a full season in 2021 and can't wait to see what it has in store.” Head Coach Gabe Hoogers
