Overall Summary

Richland enters the 2026 season with high hopes, hoping to recapture the magic that led to a 4A state title in 2024. The Bombers feature a duo of arms few others can match in terms of talent. Senior RHP and Grand Canyon commit Michael Revell has immense upside with a low 90's fastball and a plus breaking ball. The lefty bat can also change a game with one swing at the plate as a middle of the order force, and enters the spring as a legitimate POTY contender. RHP and University of Washington commit Deegan Quesenberry is no slouch himself, working into the upper 80's with an ability to fill the zone and dominate on any given day. Senior RHP Braylon Edwards serves as valuable pitching depth behind the top two arms. The lineup is led by a talented group of upperclassman as well. Senior catcher and Whitworth commit Hayden Galloway has excelled across multiple in-game looks and should slot near the top of the order. Junior infielder Dylan Parrott possesses an intriguing toolset and could step into a larger role offensively. Multi-sport athlete Jackson Woodard also impressed in-game last spring and could see time in the infield and in the middle of the order. Head Coach Grant Richardson is circling games against Kamiakin and Kennewick as key matchups for the Bombers this spring. Expect Richland to lean on their strong pitching and once again be one of the best teams in the state.
