Hereâs a look at the area baseball teams. Hamilton will not field a team this season.
Central Noble
Coach: Tyler Graybeal
The Central Noble baseball program is growing. There are 32 players in the program this year, which allowed them to put together a C team.
On the varsity, Dylan Eggl, Will Hoover, Jackson Hoover, Cade Weber and Noah Christopher are all returning with varsity experience.
The newcomers are Tyler Shisler, Jaxon Copas, Justin Krider, Aidan Dreibelbis, Caleb Weaver, Aidan Harman, Nick Godsey, Chase Spencer and Sawyer Yoder.
The strength of the Cougars will be their depth. With more players in the program, they will be able to utilize a lot of different athletes.
