The Riverside baseball team will be under new leadership this season under new Head Coach Kyler Morgan. The Bulldogs are looking for a fresh start after an 8-14 season a year ago. The Bulldogs will look to a lot of guys that have had minimal varsity experience on the mound this season. Riverside lost six seniors in the offseason who pitched at least ten innings a year ago. Morgan says there are several players he expects to play bigger roles on the bump this spring.

The first-year head coach says he has been impressed with the offseason conditioning but that can only go so far.

Riverside loses three of their top four highest batting averages from a year ago. Junior Aaron Smith comes back after a .341 sophomore season and led the team with 16 runs driven in. Smith also had a share in the team lead with four triples in 2024. Morgan emphasizes many athletes on his roster are very versatile.

The Bulldogs believe they play baseball in an exciting way and want to inspire the kids watching from the stands.

Riverside’s 2025 season with be all about new energy and building that chemistry on and off the field.
