2025 Spring Team Preview: Cranbrook Kingswood Cranes

2024 Tourney Finish: District loss to Notre Dame Prep

Coach Outlook: "This season is about building something big—not just for this year, but for the long haul. We’ve got a great group of guys on the field, and I’ve got to say, the energy and commitment we’re seeing from this team is something special. It’s about more than just wins and losses, it’s about building the brand of Cranbrook Kingswood Baseball.

We’ve got a really strong young core—Freshman and Sophomores who are stepping up, showing leadership, and getting after it every single day. The incoming freshman class is looking solid. These kids are talented, hungry, and ready to make an impact. It’s exciting to think about what this program could be in the next couple of years.

We’re focused on developing these guys, not just as baseball players, but as individuals who represent this program and the Cranbrook Kingswood community. It’s about laying the foundation now, so when we’re talking about state championships or sending kids off to the next level, it’s not just a possibility—it’s a reality.

So, while we’ve got a long road ahead of us, I’m excited about where we’re going. We’re building something that’s going to last, and I’m proud of every single one of our players who is helping to lay the groundwork for that future."
