LVC baseball is starting to prepare for the 2025-2026 season. Team lifts, practices and weekly scrimmages are getting the team active and ready!
College sports indulge in a different level of intensity and commitment. With this commitment, coaches strive for discipline academically and physically.
The LVC baseball team is recovering from a loss of nearly ten seniors in the spring of 2025. While in the fall of 2025, they are gaining a drastic number of new faces and talent.
Gaven Schreier, a sophomore right-handed pitcher, for the LVC baseball team, makes his presence valuable to those around him while unable to perform on the field physically.
Schreier suffered an unfortunate ankle injury, preventing him from finishing his first-year season with the Dutchmen. He bounced back as quickly as rehabilitation would allow. The summer was a great time for him to gain strength and focus on his accuracy as a right-handed pitcher.
As the world often does, it has a fun way of ruining plans. Schreier is now currently enduring shoulder pain, which once again, is preventing him from playing with his fellow Dutchmen.
Schreier remains optimistic in being a strong player in the upcoming spring and continues to support his teammates from the dugout and side of the bullpen.
Schreier has wise advice for first-year players.
“Do your homework…. early. Also, take advantage of team lifts and practices. The coaches will help everyone in any way, just do not be scared to ask.”
Schreier supports his team and is beyond excited to be playing in the spring season, where his slider will have batters swinging and missing without a doubt.
After coming off of a great spring season, with exceptional seniors graduating, the team is moving to adjust and to show the MAC division that the Dutchmen always win big.
