Baseball coaches cite no-shows and roster losses, recommend 18-game schedule
Summary
Coaches Melanie Ryan and Eric Swank told the Athletic Committee the baseball season was hampered by no-shows and the loss of four key seniors; they recommended reducing the schedule from 22 to 18 games, reported 15 players signed up, and requested equipment.
Coach Melanie Ryan and Coach Eric Swank reported to the Turkeyfoot Valley Area SD Athletic Committee that the baseball program faced attendance problems and forfeited games this season, and that the team lost the leadership of four key seniors.
Ryan said two players had attendance issues this year but that younger players are progressing and pitching "was good and is getting better." The coaches recommended trimming the schedule from 22 games to 18 as an ideal workload. They also reported 15 players have signed up for next season and requested a new catcher's mitt and additional baseballs. Ryan noted a coaching book she found would help explain where players should move and when during play.
The committee logged the coaches’ suggestions; next steps include reviewing equipment needs and considering schedule changes ahead of the next season.
