Baseball program cuts down team size

The baseball team will play with fewer athletes after the junior varsity and varsity teams decreased their size.
“[Coach Aaron Tarr] wanted to make the team smaller because he felt it’d be easier for us to be successful and bond,” freshman and varsity player Drew Hiller said.
Members of the varsity team said they welcomed the change.
“I think it will improve our team and allow us to be the best we can,” senior and varsity player John Kerns said.
The change also went over well among members of the junior varsity team.
“I like the change [because] we won’t have as many kids on the team,” freshman and junior varsity player Timmy Bradley said.
Though the players said the changes will positively affect the teams, they said the change was not without its drawbacks.
“It sucks that some people aren’t on the team,” Kerns said.
Freshman and junior varsity player Ronan Kelly views the change as a necessary sacrifice.
“We are going to be better because our players are better,” Kelly said. “I, of course, like the change because I am on the team, but if I got cut, I wouldn’t like it.”
