The conclusion of baseball season brings the All-District honors, and the Weimar Wildcats had seven players named to the All-District team.
The Wildcats made it all the way to the bi-district round of the playoffs, and these seven players played a large role in them reaching that level of play.
Leading things off for the Wildcats was Collin Morrison, the lone Wildcat selected to the first All-District team. Morrison was selected because of his consistency on the field and his leadership off the field.
Morrison was a senior on the team, and he played a big role as a steady presence in the dugout and on the field. He was a defensive mastermind at his shortstop position as well as being a very consistent batter.
He posted a .459 batting average this season that led the Wildcats, and he recorded four doubles, a triple, a home run and 13 RBIs this season.
Moving onto the second All-District team, Braden Mueller, Brady Janecka and Trey Billeck were all named. Mueller and Janecka were both infielders with Morrison, and they were just as effective.
They made countless defensive plays that helped the Wildcats pick up big wins to lift them to a playoff berth. They were also outstanding hitters for the Wildcats as Mueller posted a .385 and Janecka posted a .370 batting average.
The duo combined to hit five doubles and 23 RBIs this season for the Wildcats to help them earn a spot on the All-District team. As for Billeck, he was named to the All-District team as a utility player.
Being named a utility player means that Billeck was fitting into the lineup wherever they Wildcats needed him, and he was effective. Utility players are always interesting because of how many roles they play for the team.
In one game they are a defensive piece helping to close out a game and secure a victory, and in other games they are smacking the ball deep into the outfield to help get runs on the board.
Billeck played his role perfectly and thus earned a spot on the second All-District team this season.
Then finally, there were honorable mentions, and they were Bryce Christen, Treycen Espitia and Drew Mongomery. This trio was just as important to the team as the other four players listed despite being listed as honorable mentions.
They played every single game this season, and all of them had batting averages over .310. Christen and Montgomery were on the bump a lot this season for the Wildcats, where they combined to strike out 51 batters this season.
The Wildcats made the playoffs this season, and with the season now officially concluded, they now set their sights on next season where they will look to make an even deeper push in the playoffs.
