Annville-Cleona's Bryce Keller, left, Noah Morcom, Colten Shaffer and Jack Getty during the Lancaster-Lebanon League baseball media day at the LNP | LancasterOnline offices on Sunday March 9, 2025.

Pitching Staff: Noah Morcom, Colten Shaffer, Preston Bomgardner, Traian Dompier, Cian Soliday.

Regulars: 2B/OF Bryce Keller, OF Malachi Victa, C Jack Getty, IF Zac Frentz, IF Alex Shaffer.

Outlook: The Dutchmen are dreaming big. They want a District Three Class 3A championship and a state playoff run. The 1-2 pitching combination of Morcom and Shaffer will give Annville-Cleona a shot. Getty controls the game behind the plate and three-sport athlete Keller brings speed to the bases.

“We’re trying to get out of here with a district championship,” Getty said. “We’ve made it to districts and we fell short. This year we’re looking for a good season.”

Columbia's Cameron McClair, left, Drew Paules and Cooper Marley during the Lancaster-Lebanon League baseball media day at the LNP | LancasterOnline offices on Sunday March 9, 2025.

Pitching Staff: Peyton Gilbert, Drew Paules, Evan Mummaw.

Regulars: Cameron McClair, Cooper Marley, John Buzzendore, Chase Marley, Owen Musser, Loudon Rupp.

Outlook: Section Four is really deep, which makes it a difficult climb for the Crimson Tide. McClair is one of the section’s rising stars at catcher. There’s a new coach and some positive vibes. The challenge will be having several district title contenders on the schedule.

“It looks like we’re gonna have a promising season,” McClair said. “The team is getting along very well. We’ve been working hard and we’re ready to get at it at this point.”

Lancaster Catholic's Drew Walker, left, Zach Zuber, Ty George and Dylan Banzhof during the Lancaster-Lebanon League baseball media day at the LNP | LancasterOnline offices on Sunday March 9, 2025.

Pitching Staff: Drew Walker, Gabe Garcia, Zach Zuber, Andrew Schwanke.

Regulars: Drew Walker, Zach Zuber, Gabe Garcia, Ty George, Dylan Banzhof.

Outlook: The Crusaders have long set the standard in Section Four. Their run of eight consecutive titles was ended by Northern Lebanon. The mission is to reclaim that top spot in the standings. Catholic is tired of hearing about last season and wants to write a different script. One we’ve seen before.

“It’s been a hot topic,” Walker said of the end of Catholic’s reign. “Understandably. That’s the main goal for us. To take the section back. It starts with knocking off Northern Lebanon.”

Northern Lebanon's Brian Bicksler, left, Riley Messinger and Adrian Gonzalez during the Lancaster-Lebanon League baseball media day at the LNP | LancasterOnline offices on Sunday March 9, 2025.

Pitching Staff: Brian Bicksler, Adrian Gonzalez, Lucas Kleisath.

Regulars: Connor Stoltz, Kaden Beamesderfer, Richard Adams, Brian Bicksler, Lucas Kleisath, Levi Shoemaker, Vincent Battistelli, Riley Messinger, Adrian Gonzalez, Andrew Via.

Outlook: Last season was the big breakthrough for the Vikings, who finally took over first place in the section. This season could bring more. Northern Lebanon returns an all-league pick in Gonzalez and section all-stars Via, Stoltz and Shoemaker. The goal is to take the District Three Class 4A title.

“I want to do everything we did last year,” Gonzalez said, “except win more games in the playoffs.”

Pequea Valley's Logan Zynn, left, Stephen Smucker and Trevor Vollmer during the Lancaster-Lebanon League baseball media day at the LNP | LancasterOnline offices on Sunday March 9, 2025.

Pitching Staff: Logan Zynn, Stephen Smucker, Dominick Burrell.

Regulars: 2B Trevor Vollmer, C Dominick Burrell; 1B/3B Elijah Smucker, LF Sammy Chappell, 3B Stephen Smucker, SS Logan Zynn.

Outlook: The Braves return two of their top pitchers in Zynn, who was an all-league selection, and Smucker, who made all-section as an infielder. Add in Burrell, one of the team’s biggest bats, and Vollmer and there’s the foundation for a section contender. Logan Zynn knows where he expects Pequea Valley to finish.

“First, easily,” Zynn said. “I’m not trying to put anybody else down. They’re all good players and good teams. But I think we’re gonna come out on top.”
