By Bobby Black – Sports Editor

Jaden Wywoda is a senior pitcher on the Law baseball team. Advocate Sports Editor Bobby Black interviewed Wywoda about the upcoming spring season.

Bobby Black: What are you looking forward to this year?

Jaden Wywoda: This year, we have a really well-balanced team. We can pitch well, play good defense, and have guys who can swing the bat. I’m looking forward to seeing how this team performs when the games count. 

BB: What goals do you have for this year?

JW: As a team the goal is to make the State tournament and SCC tournament. We believe we have a great team who can make a deep run this year. 

BB: What are the biggest challenges going into the season?

JW: Scoring runs will definitely be the biggest challenge for us. We lost a couple key bats from last year and are going to need younger guys to step up and fill those roles. 

BB: What are you and the coaches doing to try and be successful this season?

JW: This year we are definitely focusing on manufacturing runs. Running the bases well, advancing runners, bunting guys over, and bringing guys in when in scoring position. That is the way we feel we can win games – by doing the little things on offense right. 

BB: Why do you like playing baseball?

JW: I love how the game changes everyday. It is never the same game. Some days you go 4-for-4, some days you go 0-for-4. It throws something new at you everyday which makes it fun.
