SARATOGA SPRINGS — The Blue Streaks varsity baseball team kicks off its fourth season under the coaching of Andrew Cuthbertson.
When compiling the team for the 2019 season, Coach Cuthbertson focused on filling the positions that were open due to last year’s graduating seniors. These positions included catchers, middle infielders, a first baseman and an outfielder.
Coach Cuthbertson’s goal for his team this season is “to dominate each pitch and play each inning and try to win it,” said Coach Cuthbertson.
The Blue Streaks have a skilled team, and at least three of his players will be going on to play college baseball next year. Coach Cuthbertson says he has high expectations for the team this season, but also holds them accountable to help each other meet those expectations.
A part of the standards Coach Cuthbertson has set for his players is to maintain their academic success. For the past two years, the team received the New York State Public High School Athletic Association’s Scholar Team award. “We let them know that baseball is very important and their time when they’re on the field, that’s their focus. When they’re not on the field, they are taking care of themselves both physically, mentally and taking care of their school work,” said Coach Cuthbertson.
The Blue Streaks’ next game will be home at the East Side Recreation Field on Monday, April 8 at 6:15 p.m.
