With the strength of senior leadership this season, the Panther baseball team has amassed an impressive 13 and 8 overall record so far this season. With a huge 24-man roster this season, it is often difficult for Coach Engel to find playing time for everyone. However, it seems Coach Engel has worked his the winning touch as the lineup has produced very well while leading Prep to sixth place in the standings.
Aaron Kim ‘17 sat down with The Panther to speak about the senior leadership this season. “These senior leaders are the greatest. They inspire us all to give everything we have every game”.
In a crucial game against O’Dea earlier this season, Kim ‘17 recalled, “Patrick Bowers was very emotional, he told us it was his last game against O’Dea and he really needed a win that night. His inspiration carried the team to a win; it was really special”.
However, Kim was quick to acknowledge that the real MVPs of the team were “The Pine”. “Without those guys, we wouldn’t be a family, they make the game so much better” Kim ‘17 said with reverence.
In a heartfelt statement, Kim ‘17 concluded, “No matter what, win or lose, I’m going to miss all the seniors of this team, and their contribution to Seattle Prep Baseball”.
