SEASON OUTLOOK

The Pioneers are looking forward to the 2017 season with 8 returning starters, including 6 seniors. UCM recruit, Collin Jones, and Joshua Lucas will lead the pioneers on the mound after earning post season honors in 2016. Another addition for Leavenworth in 2017 will be the return of Junior catcher Chase Broeker. Broeker missed the 2016 season due to injury but looks to improve after a solid freshman year. Dylan McLain will also be returning from injury in 2016 and looks to add depth for the Pioneers both on the mound and infield. Leavenworth should be a team to watch in 2017 with a senior loaded roster mixed with a handful of players returning from injury.
