For the Jonathan Law baseball team’s 2022 season, the coaches are focused on building a winning team.

This year’s varsity team captains are Kian McEnerney, Jaden Wywoda, and Michael Cosmas. Some important and key players include Wywoda, junior John Neider, Cosmas, and McEnerney.

“We always want to be able to compete for a chance to win a state championship,”  head coach Mr. Simler said. “In order to do that, we set goals each day to get better so that we are playing our best baseball by the end of May when the State Tournament begins.”

The players are setting goals for themselves this season as well.

“My goals are to have a successful season and have the team go over .500,” sophomore catcher Bobby Black said. 

After two years of canceled and shortened baseball seasons, everyone is excited to get back to a normal season this spring.

“For the season really I am most excited to be around the players and other coaches” assistant coach Mr. McPartland said. “A huge part of why I do what I do is because of the relationships I form with the players and coaches.”

The players are also just as excited as the coaches.

“What I’m looking forward to this baseball season is winning,” junior pitcher Jeanero King said. “We have a lot of potential on this team and I believe we can have a good run.”

As of April, the baseball team is 1-2 with a win over Bunnell and losses to Lyman Hall and Hand.
