The Melcher-Dallas Baseball Squad will be very young once against this summer. With a shortened schedule, the Saints will have to relay on a mostly inexperienced pitching staff. Coach Pat Ferguson tells KNIA Sports the pitching staff begins with Krpan Brothers who will be key to the Saints success.

Ferguson:
“Ryan Krpan is definitely our number one and he was probably that last year, too. Throws hard, mixes it up, throws strikes, is a very good pitcher, he’s got stronger and has been in the weight room. Aling with his brother Steven, again doesn’t throw hard but it’s always around the plate. He’s also been in the weight room so he’s gotten bigger and stronger.”

Ryan Krpan went 4-3 last summer with a 3.73 ERA, 60 strikeouts to 33 walks. Steven Krpan, in seven starts registered 37 strikeouts and 27 walks. The Saints are scheduled to begin their season Tuesday June 16th at Lamoni.
