As a junior, Seiz went 11-1 with 100 strikeouts in 62 innings of work with 0.68 ERA. Senior Justin Jaeger had four wins last year with 52 strikeouts in 34 innings pitched and finished with a 1.65 ERA. Senior Lane Noel had three wins and a save with 51 strikeouts in 40 innings with 2.45 ERA. Senior Nick Martin will again be looked to for setting the tone for the Eagle offense as the returning All-State infielder.  Last season Martin hit .449 with 27 stolen bases. Senior outfielder Zane Spencer hit .373 while senor Justin Jaeger hit .370 last season. Returning DH Davis Alterman hit .391 in 2014. The Eagles lost only two players last season, and will add players from last year's undefeated JV team.  The Holden Eagles are excited with what lies ahead.
