The PCM baseball team currently has its sights set on a big season, assuming it gets underway on June 1st. A solid nucleus of returners from last year, including an experienced pitching staff from a 17-5 team means the Mustangs are built to compete among the best teams in Class 2A. With the season on hold, those hopes could be gone by mid June if it is deemed unsafe to play. Head Coach Jeff Lindsay says that it would be tough to get in a season if it has to be pushed back even further, and player safety must be the top priority.

“If it gets past June 1st, it would be hard to tell if there would be much of a season. Depending on how many games you play, now you’re really pushing on pitchers and their arms and how you go about dealing with them. It could almost come to a point where you hope coaches aren’t trying to jam a lot of pitchers in there that maybe aren’t ready to go, and now you’re talking about the safety of young men’s arms. I think that’s something that really needs to be taken into account.”

If the season does resume at the start of June, PCM’s first scheduled game would be June 2nd at Pella.
