The Shadow Ridge High School Spring Baseball Team is ready to take the field for an exciting season. With a commitment to excellence, the team blends experienced players with fresh talent, all eager to showcase their skills.
Under the guidance of dedicated coaches, they will focus on teamwork, discipline, and sportsmanship. This spring, the players are set to not only improve individually but also strengthen their bond as a team, striving for success and making unforgettable memories along the way.

Torres says, “I would like to represent the Ridge with pride and be a leader for my teammates.” Torres has been on varsity since his junior year and was on JV both freshman and sophomore year. Being in the baseball program for such a long time builds such strong relationships through the years with players, while also being able to have a strong positive impact on them as well.
Torres says, “Gustavo Crawford has had the biggest influence on me, his positive influence is extremely contagious and he always pushes us to do better and try my hardest day in and day out.”
Shadow Ridge baseball works hard on and off the field no matter what season. Being able to have that opportunity to always be on the field working anytime is such a key part in the Shadow Ridge program.
Torres says, “We still condition and work out the same as in the regular season, for the most part, but some of the drills we do are more focused on the basics.”
Shadow Ridge baseball practices with a 16U and 18U team called the Herd to get the boys ready to go for the spring season.
Torres says, “Teamwork is everything in baseball, it isn’t just the starting 9, it takes the whole program to be able to compete with the best teams in Las Vegas.”
Shadow has developed a close-knit bunch and the program has a lot of boys buying into the program who have become so close throughout the years.
Torres says, “Lastly, I’m always there for my boys whenever they are in need with anything they need.”
As the Shadow Ridge High School Baseball Team prepares for the season ahead, their strong chemistry and unwavering teamwork emerge as key strengths. The players consistently support one another both on and off the field, creating an environment where everyone can thrive. With this unity and determination, they are poised for a fantastic season filled with growth, camaraderie, and success.
