Senior middle blocker Ian Van Hare (#14) hypes up the team circle before the Pac the Place home game versus Grandview on March 28. The team, under the leadership of senior captains Lukas Rhoades (#12) and Zack Filene (#10), as well as other seniors, has worked hard to build community after 60% of the team graduated last season. “I would say the most important part of this season was connecting with each other and figuring out different positions, because myself included, we all were playing different positions [this year],” Filene said.

Sophomore Connor Larkin stands on deck as junior Brayden Yasuzawa bats. Despite an under-.500 2022 record of 9-14, varsity baseball is currently 8-4 and nearly undefeated against in-state opponents. 2022’s season was, in a word, disappointing. The year before, in 2021, Creek had a 13-5 record and was 13th in Class 5A. But in 2022, finishing 30th in Class 5A, the team lacked “chemistry and confidence,” according to senior designated hitter Ben Steele, who is currently second in team RBIs with 11. “We struggled last year because we didn’t have the same energy and fun as we are having right now,” Steele said. “We got off to a bad start last year and it translated to the rest of our season. Even our practices are much more energetic this year.”

Colorado Rockies pitcher Daniel Bard stands alone on the mound during the ninth inning in a Sept. 10, 2022, Colorado Rockies game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. He had a 0.00 ERA in the game and got the save. Bard has publicly struggled with gametime anxiety, or the yips, since 2012. Despite returning to the majors in 2020 and improving his statistics to a career high in 2022, Bard began the 2023 season on the Injured List for anxiety.
