Here's a look at what to expect this spring for baseball teams in Cook County.
No area teams qualified for the state finals last year. Maine South, Buffalo Grove and Barrington each won their respective conference titles, only to be eliminated by one run in the playoffs. St. Viator and Fremd lost in the sectionals, also by one run.
Fremd is looking to build off the late deep run the Vikings had last season. Fremd, which was third in the MSL West last season, advanced to the sectional finals before losing 2-1 to Mundelein. The Vikings return a nice core from that team including Yuhki Yamada, who hit .357, Quinn Nelson, Brayden Mobley, Jake Schreiner, James Philipp and Dean Rokkas
Schaumburg will be looking to build off the late season success last year when the Saxons knocked off second-seeded Willowbrook in the opening round of the state playoffs. They return junior outfielder Brayden Mazzacano to lead the offense. Raffi Torosian should also be a key factor offensively along with Justin Reineke , Jack Denk, Lucas Tillotson, Anthony DiGioia, Erick Colon, Colin Adams, Timmy Spatz, Jason Williams and Stephen Schroeder.
Hersey will have a great mix of players with returning experience this season. P/INF David Denten, INF Aidan Groberski , OF Connor Kave , C Carson Naegel and INF Tyler Naegele all return to give the Huskies some senior leadership. P/INF Jeremy Allen and OF Brandon Pflomm are juniors while P/INF Keegan Luxem and P/INF Chuck Meister who hit .365 last season are both sophomores. Luxem, Denten, Allen and Meister will give the Huskies depth on the mound.
Wheeling is looking for its best season in years. Many of their players participate in multiple sports, giving the team tremendous athleticism. The Wildcats return six starters, four of which have been four-year starters at Wheeling. Zach Zalewski, Caleb Martinez, AJ Marchetti and Gavin Stanke have been the key cogs with their ability to pitch, hit and play the field. Zach Zangara and Grant Scheuerman also have solid varsity experience.
