Baseball relies on experience in 2019

Coming off a disappointing 2018 season that resulted in a 18-36 record and a last place finish in the Sun Belt Conference, the App State baseball team looks for a reboot in 2019.

Leading the ship is third-year head coach Kermit Smith who said he looks to utilize the experience gained from 2018 as a building block for the coming season.

“I think experience is the biggest attribute we have from last year to this year,” Smith said. “Anytime you come into a season where three of your better players are freshmen, I think the maturity aspect will play a big role.
