2023 Baseball Preview
2023 Season Preview
With the 2023 college baseball season right around the corner Teton baseball is in its final stages of development before the kids head home for winter break. When they return, they will only have about five weeks of preparation before they open the season with a four-game series against Adams State. The 2023 schedule will familiar opponents from years past. After the Adams State series, the Tetons will have a four-game series with Midland University before they head to Arizona for twelve games in 11 days. The Tetons will have one final week of non-conference play following the Arizona trip. They will have four games against Central Lakes College and Riverland Community College in Sioux City, IA. The 2023 MonDak Conference schedule will open April 1st at home against Lake Region.
The Tetons are coming off a 34-15 2022 season that ended as the Region XIII runner up. The 2023 roster will be a fresh look for the Tetons on the field. They will only return Oscar Hargreaves and Chris Shopbell from last year's starting lineup that had one of the top offenses in the country with a team average of .346, .444 on base, and averaged over ten runs per game. "Losing guys like Brady Miles, Jordan Kelly, and Josh Tibbs can be detrimental to a team's ability to score runs. I believe we have done a respectable job replacing the big bats in our lineup. We will expect major contributions from newcomers Cameron Goff, Kevin Conway, and (RS Freshman) Jalen Denton to help Chris and Oscar anchor our lineup." (Coach Przybilla). The Pitching staff for the Tetons will see familiar faces. The Tetons will look at Hunter Houck, Brody Forno, Tyler Smith, and Rylan Penner to carry a heavy load. The strike out was a major factor in the success the Tetons saw last year as they struck out 401 batters in forty-nine games. Houck, Forno, Penner and Smith combined for 240 of the strikeouts. The coaching staff has seen changes with the exit of Pitching Coach Connor Jennings and Infield/First Base coach Riley Nelson. Cody Hartman has returned for his fourth season as the hitting coach and Mason Przybilla will assume pitching coach/Third Base duties for the 2023 season.
