St. Patrick Catholic High School Athletic Director and Head Baseball Coach, Eddie Burger, said, “This year’s baseball season has all of the ingredients to be an exciting one. We are returning 8 of 9 starters, as well as the entire pitching staff. Depth is also something we have this year that we have not had in years past.  I am very excited about the progression of our younger players. With the addition of two new coaches this year, Colton Caver and Ben Pickard, we have been able to increase the intensity at practice as well as provide much more detailed instruction to our players. We have truly established a culture and I am excited about the future of our program.”
