Spring sports are underway, meaning baseball is back! The Knights are back on the diamond. Stuart Hall baseball dominated the 2010s, bringing home consecutive BCL West championships from 2011 to 2017. That’s right—not one, not two, not three, but how about 7 straight championships! Baseball here has a strong tradition to it, something to take pride in over other schools in the city. 2025 baseball is the year to get back the championship-rich DNA embedded in the Hall. Stuart Hall baseball looks to build off their past season of growing pains and bring some hardware home.
Current head coach Gerald Reader has been laying the foundation to build up the team and get back on track to the winning pedigree that was seen in a dominant 7-year span. He sets the standard for the team: be about our business, and have fun while doing it. Picture 19 businessmen (19 players) conducting their business with smiles on their faces. That is what Coach Reader’s practices are all about building up your game, playing your role, and enjoying your time on the field. This formula resonates with the players and their success on the field. Junior Max Machle says, “Gerald keeps the team spirit bright, inspiring us to play well, but will make sure we do our jobs to get the win.” “This team’s spirit makes team chemistry flow easily,” Junior Alex Cruz says. Stuart Hall baseball is about creating bonds and memories with teammates on the field while competing, to friendly competitions and jokes in practice. The 2025 Spring baseball team is no different. The start of the season looks promising, with new faces adapting to the team culture and chemistry building up—all show signs of a strong season ahead.
The Knights kicked off the season with a dominant 10-2 win against Gateway High. The team’s first league series vs. Marin Academy comes a month later, on March 25th, at Maloney Field at SF State at 4:00 p.m., followed by an away game at Marin Academy’s home field at 6:30 p.m. Team Captains for the second year in a row are: Geno Putt (‘25) and Alex Heinicke (‘25). New additions for the 2025 Spring include: Ryder Anderson (‘26), Damian Talavera (‘28), Dominic Gutierrez (‘28), Matias Fals (‘28), and John Rodrick-Clark (‘28). Coming off a season in which the baseball team recorded 6-13-1 overall record (non-league, league, playoffs), the addition of new players and the development of returning players set the bar higher that it was a season ago. Now the question is, will we see you support the Knights this season? Catch every home game at the Knights’ home field, Maloney Field at SF State, and find away game locations on the C&SH Athletics official app. Don’t forget your caps and Roll Hall!
