TOP PLAYERS

Tye Wood OF / OF / Gardner Edgerton, KS / 2021

The Senior and Iowa Western CC commit will look to carry the load offensively with his smooth swings from both sides of the plate. Tye is a very good runner and will also log some innings on the mound this upcoming Spring.

Hayden Dyer 3B / C / Gardner Edgerton, KS / 2021

The Senior and Butler CC is one of the few players for the Trailblazers that has Varsity experience. The 3B has some strength in the barrel at the plate and will look to return to being an All-League player once again.

OUTLOOK

The strength of the this team according to the coaching staff is the overall team speed and good athleticism.

The biggest question mark heading into the 2021 campaign is getting their young and inexperienced pitchers up to speed quickly.
