Puyallup High School baseball chasing historic undefeated season
Puyallup High School's baseball team, boasting a perfect record of 26-0, aims to set a new state record for most wins in an undefeated season while vying for their third state title. The Vikings are motivated by the opportunity to surpass the record established by the Richland Bombers the previous year. Senior Mason Pike, a standout player, has garnered significant attention from MLB scouts, hitting just below . 500 and showcasing a fastball that has reached 98 mph. Coach Marc Wiese, who has coached for 30 years, notes the similarities between this team and the 2014 squad that also went undefeated.
Pike has excelled both offensively and defensively, contributing to his team's confidence and success. The first two rounds of the state tournament are scheduled for May 24th, with the final four teams advancing to Yakima for the championship. The Vikings are focused on maintaining their perfect record and feel no pressure as they approach the tournament. Their performance and potential have made them a local sensation in the Puyallup community.
