The West Clermont baseball season is right around the corner. I decided to interview some players that have played in the past to get their intake on how the 2020 season will go. Logan Schmidt, a senior at West Clermont has played baseball for 13 years and plans on attending the University of Cincinnati where he will be majoring in pre-physical therapy and minoring in statistical analytics. Braden Meadows, another senior at West Clermont has played baseball for 14 years and plans on attending either Mount Saint Joseph University or Bluffton University where he will continue to play baseball and major in crimal justice.

I think we can make a legit run in the tournament this year. We have some solid seniors and a handful of young guys that are talented. We are very underrated at the moment.

Yes I think it will be a great year. We’re very solid at the plate and we have some good arms so we definitely have a chance at league this year.

This may sound odd but I like playing baseball because it’s hard. In basketball you go 3/10 on field goal and you’re trash. In football you go 3/10 on completions and you’re trash. In baseball you go 3/10 and you end up with a great batting average.

I play left field, 3rd base and pretty much where ever our coach needs me.

What I like most about playing for the school is the team is made up of guys you are with every single day. You see your teammates everyday and there’s a real brotherhood created from it.
