Prep Baseball Report

The Colorado high school season is nearing quickly, and we're here to cover it. Over the next several weeks, leading up to opening day, we'll publish our team previews ahead of the 2023 spring season, touching on programs spanning all state classifications, leading into a countdown through the official PBR Colorado Preseason Power 25 Rankings.

Team: Delta 
League: Western Slope
2022 Record: 16-9 / 10-4 Conference
Classification: 3A
Head Coach: Steve Reiher
Years at the Helm: 18


OUTLOOK:
The Panthers are a 3A program looking to compete for their league title in 2023, as well as trying to make it back to the Elite 8 in state playoffs. This team did lose two seniors, but they are returning a slew of stout hitters to go with an experienced group of arms. The Panthers certainly have the depth at each class this season, and could make plenty of noise in 3A baseball.
