What makes this baseball team so special is that they are one of the best offensive teams in Southern California. Coach Rick Prieto’s squad is scoring runs at a record pace. The Centaurs are known for their pitching, but this year their hitting is taking center stage along with their pitching.
They have scored 83 runs and they have held their opponents to 29 runs. Leading the way at the plate is Mason Le who is hitting a remarkable .514. Joaquin Hines is batting .429, Tanner Duve is at .406, Dylan Singh checks in at .400, Bobby Capa is hitting .368. and Jack Bickerton is batting .333.
In the pitching department, the Centaurs are led by two freshmen pitchers, Jake Glickman and Arian Montenegro. Both pitchers are currently 4-0.
