2021 Varsity Summer Recap

The West Ranch Baseball team (AKA Ranchers) had a very productive summer. In terms of team success. The 13-1-4 record is the best win % ever for a summer squad. The big surprise was the abundance of pitching, as several arms from last year's talented JV pitching staff quickly found success this summer. Andrew Greenberg, Robert Sowter, and Jake McMillan got their first varsity innings and were impressive. Returners Caden Deck and Jake Schwartz threw like they were seniors with past varsity experience. Sophomore lefty Jackson Banuelos had a breakout summer on the mound. On offense, the returners from last year's high-powered offense did not skip a beat. Blake Schroeder was tops in batting average, runs scored, stolen bases, and hits. Logan Mandel continued to put up big power numbers, with 12 of his 22 hits being extra bases. Jake Callahan drove in the most runs with 19 RBIs in 18 games. Senior Connor Coughenour ended the summer with a solid batting average. Newcomers who had great summer performances at the plate were Eric Muneton, Caden Deck, McMillan, and Josef Brosche. Many other Ranchers players had shining moments this summer. Too many to list. See the final stats HERE. See the final schedule results HERE. We would like to thank the parents for all their help and support as we traveled to and hosted many of the top high school programs in the country.

The players, coaches, and families have earned some much-needed rest and relaxation. Start of school is August 10, and it will be here before we know it. Check out the daily calendar HERE for updates. The Fall/Winter game schedule is just about done, and you can view it HERE.
