By Wyatt Hardy

Four Sullivan baseball players were named to the 2023 Class 4 District 4 All-District and All-Conference Team. Cambrian Koch, Gavin Schmidt, Chase Blue and Seth Valley were the Eagles who qualified.

Koch is an amazing batter and pitcher. He is first place on the Eagles with 13 walks and  18 stolen bases. He is also second with 21 runs. Koch was also  voted on by his team to be the Most Improved, and an Academic All-State player.

Schmidt gives it all every game for his team.   He has a team-high of 24 hits, 24 runs, 21 singles and 75 plate appearances. With an outstanding year, he was voted as MVP by his team because of playing great in the biggest moments.

Rookie of the Year, Blue topped the team with 17 RBIs, 2 home runs, and 29 bases in his first season. He is honored to have been nominated, claiming that, “I have always heard about players being All-District but didn’t think I would achieve it as a freshman.”
