OUTLOOK

Coach Maurer: "This year's St John Neumann Baseball team will be looking to return to the State Final four and compete for a state championship. With 14 college commits, all but 1 returning starter from last year's team, and an influx of transfer additions, this team has depth from top to bottom. A year ago, in my first season at SJN, the team finished 23-9, while finishing the season on a 13 game winning streak before eventually falling to State Champion Lakeland Christian in the state semifinal. Key Players to watch this spring include Alex Kuenzle, Ryder Woodson, Presley Woodson, Logan Baratta, Charley Bergsma, and Trevor Nikolis.
