With the JV baseball team’s season underway, the team has gone off to a hot start with a record of 5-0. They are where they believe they should be. Having high expectations for the baseball program, the Alhambra Moor JV baseball team has lived up to expectations so far. They still have a long season ahead of them but they have come out of the gates swinging for the fences.

“The season has been going great from levels freshman to varsity; we’ve been working hard and winning games. I’ve been improving on my arm strength since I’m coming back from an injury, and the team and program has been improved on the field just by becoming closer. Our ultimate goal this year is another league title and a deep run into CIF,” junior Noah Rinard said.

Their season has been going better than expected, having been undefeated, but they understand they still have a lot of work to do if they want to win the league title. They want to focus on shorter swings to cut down on their strikeouts and get the ball in play to make it more difficult for their opponent and it seems they have doing their job.

“We’re off to a great start. Back in October when we [were] first practicing we were looking for the team’s identity. Once the boys became comfortable with each other, trusted each other, and were able to get some games under their belts, we started to look like a strong contender. We have focused on being consistent and getting the Almont League Championship,” Coach Eric said.

According to the coach, the team has found their identity after starting off 5-0 and staying consistent. He believes they can continue this trend and accomplish their goal to win the Almont League Championship. They have been staying within their strategies and it has paid off. If they keep it up,the Moors will come out on top.

The Moors will next play Pioneer High School on Monday, April 4.
