2022 OUTLOOK:
“We return quite a few guys from a team that went through some growing pains last season. We'll be strong on the mound, with five senior pitchers committed to pitch at the collegiate level. We're excited about some of the growth that we've seen from our returning position players and look forward to getting back to competing for a championship in Section 2.”
John Buteyn, Eden Prairie Head Coach
