What coach says about this season:

“This is my eighth year as part of the Wilkes baseball program, four as a player and four as a coach, with this being my first year as the head coach. I have never been this excited to start a season. We have a fantastic group of guys, which includes a handful of upperclassmen and a large group of freshmen that have meshed well together and created a strong culture,” said Michael. “We have definitely had to overcome a few challenges along the way, but I believe those challenges have made every single person in this program stronger and better as both a person and a baseball player.”
