After an uneven 2019 season and tough end to that campaign, the returning letterwinners with the Pella baseball team bring depth, talent, and experience, which they hope to use to push the Dutch back to contention for a state tournament bid.

Head Coach Jesse Jablonski says a large core of returning athletes in the senior and junior classes are aiming to take a leap in their game, and many of them will play a critical role in flipping the script on a disappointing summer last season.
