The future of HSMSE baseball

The High School for Math, Science and Engineering Dragons baseball team’s approaching season is looking bright. With a year’s experience in the B-Division, more time to practice, and up-and-coming players, the team is expecting their first win this season since leaving the developmental stage.

Last season didn’t go well for the baseball team at HSMSE. They had a rough time on the field stumbling through a 0-13 season. Coach David Scheiman credits that the team is now facing challenging opponents.

“It was our first season transitioning from the developmental league to the B-Division,” he said.

Now that Scheiman has implemented increased training time, he expects the team’s performance to improve.

“Hopefully just their reps, their fielding, and their natural ability [will improve]; things being second-nature to them when they’re playing baseball,” Scheiman said.

This upcoming season is going to look different on the field now, with younger faces from the freshman class. They will be filling in the positions that the seniors left open last season.

“I think they’ll have a big effect because a few of them are pitchers, and a few of our pitchers left last year,” co-captain Henry Schoenfeld said. “A lot of them play infield which is also our big problem, so that fills another big need.”

Now that the HSMSE Dragons have a bigger freshman class on the team, their future looks fortunate. They are aiming for their first B-Division win in the upcoming season; however, they still have a long way to go before they make it to the top.
