Coach Rudolph thanks all the players who tried out for the East Baseball Program in 2012. All students wishing to try out in 2013 should watch the activities schedule in regards to winter work outs; talk to returning players to keep informed.

In 2011 East Baseball started a 9th grade program for the first time. The program will continue in 2013. As a result, East baseball fields 3 teams - Varsity made up of all seniors, plus juniors and sophmores earning playing time; Junior Varsity that gives sophmores and juniors opportunities to develop through game competition; plus a 9th Grade opportunity to develop skills and acclimate to the high school baseball experience.
