OnFocus Season Preview: Stratford Tigers Baseball
Coaching Staff: Drew Spaeth-Head Coach, Curt Schmidt Assistant Coach/3rd Base Coach, Scott Bauman Assistant Coach/1st base Coach, Ryan Bloom Assistant Coach/Varsity Stats
Key Returners- Jack Tubbs, Vance Kielman, Brady Berg, Riley Spindler, Drew Gage, and Jaegar Ormond
Key Newcomers- Jack Remus, Kolton Haupt, Christian Rehm, Trygve Aschenbrenner
Conference Outlook: Overall I see the conference being very competitive this year. Multiple teams are coming off of sectional appearances, plus two other teams that split for the regular season conference title. Each team brings back at least one of their top pitchers from last season, so everyone will be able to compete and have a chance to beat any team on any given night.
Kesy to success: Our key to success will rely on our pitching and defense, if we can limit our walks and errors we will give ourselves a chance to win the games we compete in. From there timely hitting is everything. We lost some strong seniors last year, but return a good amount of guys who have played a ton of baseball. Hopefully we can use that experience to help push our guys to the next level.
