2024 OUTLOOK
”We have 7 seniors heading into the 2024 season. These guys will provide a lot of knowledge and experience for the younger players to learn from. We have a very talented group of sophomores and juniors who will see varsity time this spring. Pius X Baseball is full of talent from top to bottom. If we remain mentally tough, and learn from our mistakes, we can have a successful 2024 season. We hope to compete with the very best early on this season.” -Keith Henggeler, Head Coach
