Swink School would like to introduce our new high school baseball coach, Garrett Palmer. Garrett comes to us with multiple years of coaching experience, including coaching for the Swink Rec Program.

Unfortunately, due to the low number of participants, the spring 2026 baseball season for this year has been cancelled. There will be an open field several times a week with Coach Palmer to build the program for future success.
