The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater baseball team has gotten its season off to a slow start, with several of their games cancelled to start the season. Despite all this, the team was 2-1 in February, and has shown some signs of a rebuild after losing key players.
Whitewater won its 19th regular-season WIAC title in addition to winning at least 30 games for the 12th straight year and made it to the NCAA Tournament for the 22nd time.
Starting off the 2020 season, UW-Whitewater is ranked No. 17 in the nation by D3baseball.com and was one of only four teams to get a first place vote.
The ‘Hawks traditionally have high expectations and know how to manage them “ We don’t speak much about the rankings or predictions. We try to focus on preparing for one game at a time. If we can maintain that focus, the rest will fall into place,” said Assistant Coach Steve Bartlein.
And the slow start may need to be exactly what Whitewater needs to do going into this season. With a retooled rotation and new catcher, the Warhawks will need to use this break in the season to gel as teammates, and prepare for the conference season, which is sure to be squeezed in, or possibly even cancelled.
