The upcoming New Hampshire high school baseball season features strong contenders, particularly the Pinkerton Academy Astros and the potential dark horse, Windham. Last year, the Astros finished with an impressive 20-0 regular season but were eliminated in the semifinals. Star players like Hunter Brasier, an Eagle-Tribune All-Star, will look to fill the gaps left by three teammates who are now playing at the collegiate level. Brasier aims to lead his team back to the finals alongside Michael Cioffi, who is set to join him at Southern New Hampshire University next year.
