Tension

The Bluffton Beavers BAseball team has come a long way in the past couple years but still have not reached their peak. There is tension building due to the mass number of freshman that are in the program this season. The team feels that there will be a tough competition for the positions this year. This is great though from a coaching standpoint because if you have this tension it only will show you your strong points and points of weakness. This builds team chemistry and creates a desire to work hard for playing time.


"There is no telling who will play, we are deep on the bench with talent and also have talent on the field. We know when we are not on the field it is because whoever is bringing something to the plate at that time, that will help us get wins. All we really want to do is win and do what is best for the team," Said first year player Ian Land. This is very understandable and shows you that this is why the Beavers are trying to overcome tension, even though the human and natural reaction is to want to play in the game at all times.

The team puts themselves as individuals second and the team and there record before that. Therefore, they are positive that they will not let anything stir them up to the point that they cannot play and work together to get to where they would like to be as a team. Hopefully the Beavers can pull it off and come together to really make a statement while they are young. They look like they are not fazed by competition and they live for the game. So tune in to watch the Beavers strive for excellence.
