Reseda High's baseball team has enjoyed a remarkable turnaround this season, winning the Valley League with an 11-1 record after years of losing, including a 1-18 record in 2006. The team's success is attributed to new coaches Daniel Swartz and Albert Silvera, who implemented a baseball class in the fall that prepared players well for their spring season. This success is seen as a relief after transitioning from the more competitive Valley Mission League, and it has involved key contributions from senior players like Don Barajas, who leads the team in hitting.
MaxPreps.com records date to the 2004-05 school year, documenting Reseda High's baseball team posting one losing record after another. There was 1-18 in 2006, 3-11 in 2013, 3-13 last season.
Moving from the Valley Mission League has given the Regents relief, but credit also goes to second-year coaches Daniel Swartz and Albert Silvera, former Beverly Hills High teammates from the 1980s who took over a losing program.
Teaching a baseball class in the fall got the team better prepared for the spring season, enabling 11 seniors to be part of a special year.
