2022 OUTLOOK:
“Coming off the first baseball state title in school history, our boys are hungry to try and repeat that again this year. We did lose five starters off last year's team, but we bring back two of our top three pitchers and our top two hitters. We won't be as deep as last year's team, but we have very good talent and a bunch of underclassmen that have put in time to show they are ready for the varsity level.”
Kasey Krekling, Hayfield Head Coach
