[Trojan ⚾️ Player Development 📈📊 @TrojanPlayerDev]

Ball flight tells the story.

Early this fall, our BP and games revealed too many weak fly balls. We went back to what works: hit it low and hard.

Our hitters bought in. Here’s what 8 weeks of offensive development produced.

[Derrion Hardie @CoachHardie]

So proud of this team. They battled through a gauntlet of a schedule and injuries to key players, and still had nearly 30 wins.

The numbers don’t tell the full story. They never stopped showing up for each other. The love, the fight, the heart — that’s what I’ll remember most.
