The team is hoping to accomplish many feats and eliminate the competition. They plan on flourishing through practicing and building chemistry with one another.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe best thing we can do is gain experience. We have a young team, but we also have some good older players with experience to teach and help the younger kids,\u201d sophomore centerfielder Conner Phillips said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In a typical practice, the players head to batting on the field and in the cages. The Bucks work on all of their defensive plays to limit errors in the game.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have a warm-up routine, do our daily workouts based on what positions we play, and then we work on our fielding, base running, or hitting,\u201d junior outfielder Blake Martin said.<\/p>\n
With enough practice, they are guaranteed to win many games. Each player is highly dedicated and willing to go far into the playoffs.<\/p>\n
\u201cI expect for our team chemistry to improve throughout the season, but I mainly expect us to win a lot of games,\u201d Martin said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Phillips hopes the team will play for the district championship. He plans to help get them there by taking risks.<\/p>\n
“Playing baseball my whole life has taught me many things, but the most important thing is, big risks equal even bigger rewards,” Phillips said.<\/p>\n
However, skill is not everything. The players recognize the significance that other values hold to the game.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“What makes a good baseball player is their love and passion for the game,” junior Blake Martin said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to Phillips, mindset and stability play a pivotal role. If a player has a negative attitude, it can affect the whole team.<\/p>\n
“A good baseball player is strong mentally and can keep their composure when they struggle. Baseball is a game of failure,” Phillips said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Baseball is substantial to the team and has taught the players lessons in many other aspects of their life. For Martin, it was the value of teamwork.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBaseball has taught me that you can\u2019t do everything on your own and that sometimes you\u2019re going to need the help of other people to succeed.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The team will undoubtedly excel through their perseverance, team chemistry, and existing devotion to the game. They opened the regular season with a 20-10 win against the Northeast Hurricanes.<\/p>\n\n\n
