2023 Team Preview: Archbishop Mitty Monarchs

The Road to the California State Games begins with the 2023 California high school baseball season. With the season just around the corner, our staff has begun putting out team previews from all around the state, getting you prepared for another year of exciting coverage.

Today we focus on the Archbishop Mitty Monarchs who are coming off a wild campaign in 2022 that saw them capture both the CIF CCS D2 championship and the inaugural CIF NorCal Division 2 championship despite finishing third in the West Catholic league. The Monarchs bring back a majority of its starters and are looking to compete for a league title, while making another deep playoff run.
