Time to spit sunflower seeds again.

Baseball season has begun with new talent aboard for Simpson as the 2012 season unfolds.

The Storm is fairly young this year, which makes it exciting for head coach Ben Blake. With a lot to look forward to, Simpson has been out on the baseball field, football field, Cowles Fieldhouse and The Yard working on batting, fielding and pitching to get ready for the season.

"It is the start of spring and better weather," Blake said. "We have a great group of guys, and we get a chance to play baseball, it's hard not to be excited."

Seniors Colton Calvert and Chris Dorff are also very excited for the season to begin. Both have agreed that team chemistry is at an all-time high since they began playing for Simpson.

"I think we have a great group of guys," Calvert said. "We all get along very well. Having a good group of guys is the first step in having a good team. I feel like our chemistry is really good which will help a lot when only having a small amount of seniors."

The seniors on the 2012 roster are: Dorff, Calvert, Grant Thomas, Kyle Ruehle and Brian Birks.

"The seniors have done a good job so far, and we will need them to lead the way on the field for us to be successful," Blake said.

Dorff is optimistic about this season and is also happy to see the chemistry boost up.
