The AHS baseball team will begin their 2025 season on Monday, May 19th.
Last season, the team held an overall record of 27-8 and a Conference record of 14- 1. They had a very successful season, ending in the SubState game.
This season, the Bulldogs will return eleven letter winners; these people include Tate Slagle, Aiden Ulrich, Isaac Wilson, Ryan Weier, Tate Garman, Levi Walker, Jaxon Eischen, Wes Streit, Tommy Zabka, Mason Ulrich, and Dawson Elsbecker.
Iowa Varsity Bound posts, “Algona is the only pitching staff in the state to return three arms that tossed 50+ IP last year.” Those three boys being Slagle, having 56.1 innings pitched, 106 strikeouts, and .99 earned run average; Garman, having 56 innings pitched, 85 strike outs, and 2.75 earned run average; and Aiden Ulrich, having 55 innings pitched, 77 strike outs, and 1.91 earned run average.
The boys have a crazy schedule ahead of them this summer, starting with their season opener at home on Monday, May 19th, against Iowa Falls Alden.
