Jorge Ontiveros Head Baseball Coach East Chicago Central
On the cover: 2016 Senior Class
East Chicago Central Baseball
East Chicago Central Baseball Philosophy It is our philosophy that the team will be well conditioned, fundamentally sound in basic techniques and be well disciplined in offensive and defensive team strategies. Our offensive team will be aggressive both at the plate and on the base paths. We also want to make things happen by putting pressure on the defense. As a defensive team, we will need to eliminate mental mistakes and prevent our opponents from having a big inning. We must also work together toward a common goal: To be successful on and off the diamond. We must conduct ourselves in a positive manner whether we win or lose but never forgetting that a victory is our main objective. Although we cannot win them all, an honest effort to do our best each and every game will be our goal. The members of the East Chicago Central Cardinals Baseball program WILL take pride in the fact that they belong to something special, - an athletic team that is representative of our school, our city and themselves.
