I’m excited to announce I will be continuing my academic and athletic career at the University of Rochester. Thanks to Coach Reina for the opportunity, and to my family, teammates, and coaches for the support. Go Yellowjackets! @URskipper @Slammers_HS_IL @2020DHSBaseball

Congrats to @Will_Swender who collected his 100th career varsity strikeout earlier this month

Will Swender isn’t the only one who’s “confident every time I go out on the mound.”
So is Deerfield.

Great bullpen session in preparation for Showball this weekend. Focused on commanding the zone with all three pitches — fastball, splitter, curveball.
