3 | Ann Arbor Skyline Eagles | Jon | Evans | 18-17 / 56-42-1 | 7/10 | Coming off a successful season with a District Championship and returning all but 2 key contributors, we see a chance for success. Even though this is a new year, we look to build off the success we saw in the second half of last season. We have key returners all around the diamond and return our top hitters. Pitching wise, we lose some of our starting pitchers, but also gain back a few injured arms that we missed last year during the regular season. The keys for this team will be continuing to work hard and to strive for higher goals, knowing last season's success is behind us. | 1. Team Chemistry 2. Defense 3.

We have depth at catcher and in the outfield, and we are looking for our senior-led pitching staff to compete throughout the conference schedule while relying on some young guys to cut their teeth and give us innings on the weekend. We graduated 9 players from the 2022 squad, including the entire infield, which creates opportunities for new additions to the roster to make an immediate impact. The SVL is again loaded with talent. Teams that want to contend for a championship need to bring their “A” game every doubleheader.

Many were 10th graders. We did lose a very good senior group that contributed in so many ways on and off the field, but our returning guys have done a tremendous job in the off-season carrying the torch from last seasons success. The work ethic of this group is tremendous. Doesn't matter whether it's in the weight room, academics or baseball they individually and collectively work extremely hard. Their dedication to being the best student/athletes, people and team they can possibly be is just incredible. I think we have a well rounded team that can do a lot of different things offensively. Pitching depth is a definite strength as we had many sophomores experience success and contribute last season on the mound. Our catching position is rock solid. Just a very well rounded group. | 1.

Filling out the final few spots in the lineup and our depth is where we will struggle. | Pitching Infield Play | @haslettbaseball | haslettbaseball | 1. Connor Bailey CF/RHP 2023 3 year starter. All conference for the last 2 years. Plans to play at LCC. currently Connor is #2 on Haslett’s all time list for steals in a career. 21 steals away from #1. He has had 30 and 34 steals in the last 2 years. Last year's stats - .298 AVG, 8 2B, 2 3B, 12 RBI, 23 R, 34 SB. Limited in pitching but plans to set up in that role this year. 2. Adam Green 3B RHP 2023. 2 year starter. Adam hit in the 4 hole for us last year and pitched in a relief role for us. Stats Last year .242 AVG, 8 2B, 15 RBI, In 12 innings pitched he had 16 SO, 3. David Wheeler 3B/SS/RHP 2024- David developed as a solid starting pitcher for us last year as a Sophomore. He threw 38 innings posting a 3.6 ERA, 1.5 WHIP, 29 SO. At the plate he struggled with hitting the ball hard but right at people. .160 AVG, but he made several gold glove plays in the field for us. 4. Caleb Fisher- 1B 2024- Caleb played the whole year for us at 1B and Hit in the 5 hole for us. As a Sophomore he hit .203 and had an OBP of .343 and 14 RBI. 5. Jacob Hedden RHP/Middle Infield-Jacob had mostly a Pitching role for us last year. He Pitched 32 innings as a Sophomore and had 22 SO. His role will be significantly more important this year.

These individuals are committed to working hard and developing this team. This year the TEAM concept will be at the forefront of our efforts, with each individual contributing in any way that they can. We will be led by our two seniors in Eli Devisser and Austin Jones. These two are phenomenal individuals who are very passionate about this game, and finishing their senior on a very high note. Eli has been an all conference player for the past three years, leading the team in hitting the last two. Austin is the ideal player, who leads by example with his work ethic every day at practice and in games. He will be a major contributor to this team during the 2023 season.

This rotation will be led by Easton Poulsen, Fischer Holmes, Eli Devisser, and Austin Jones. Joining the staff this year as well will be a 9th grade prospect by the name of Jacob Taylor. Jacob adds another lefty to our rotation that will be able to contribute to our rotation immediately with efficiency and control. On the bases we will be looking to move guys quickly.
