The Belmont Hill Varsity Baseball Team returns to the diamond this spring after winning the ISL last year in a dominant fashion. The team looks to build on last year’s success and once again stand on top of the ISL come the end of May. The team is led by captains Nick Anderson ’24, Charlie Walsh ’24, and Brady Miller ’24. All three captains are committed to play baseball in college: Nick is committed to play for Holy Cross, Charlie is committed to play for George Washington, and Brady is committed to play for Boston College. The team also has an incredibly talented head coach, David Cunningham.
Going through the lineup, the middle infield comprises a talented pair of Charlie Walsh ’24 and Jake McManus ’24. The outfield consists of talents such as Nick Anderson ’24 and Brian Seo ’26 among others. For pitchers, the team has reigning ISL MVP Brady Miller ’24, Nick Hart ’24, Jack Duffy ’25, and others. For catchers, Eric Willi ’26 returns to the team after a successful year last year and the team added Cooper Tarlie ’25 to the catching group. Tarlie is committed to William & Mary after graduation next year.
When asked about this upcoming season, captain Brady Miller ’24 had this to say: “I’m really excited for the season coming up. We just finished our first week of practice during the second week of break: it was unreal. A lot of good players, and a lot of good positions, and I’m super excited to compete this spring.
The path to once again claiming the ISL title will not be easy for this year’s team. The team graduated a number of vital players last year including Brennan Barlage ’23, Anthony Pellagrini ’23, and Jack Farrell ’23 among others. Despite these heavy losses, this team is incredibly talented. Under the leadership of Coach Cunningham and the captains, they hope to hoist a trophy by the end of the season.
The boys start off the season with a doubleheader against Deerfield on Saturday. They the follow this up with games against Bridgton Academy, Worcester Academy, and Milton Academy. Later down the road, the team has highly anticipated games against St Sebastian’s School and Dexter Southfield, among others.
The Panel Staff wishes the Varsity Baseball Team good luck with their season and their quest for another ISL title!
