Rod Wiebers, the Activities Director of the ADM Baseball Team, has spoken openly about the impact of Shawn Beenken’s debut season as head coach.
Beenken arrived with a clear vision: to inject fresh energy, reshape the team’s direction, and forge stronger bonds with each player.
A Season of Transition
Although the Tigers finished the year with a 13‑18 record, Wiebers stresses that the numbers do not capture the full scope of Beenken’s work.
The second half of the schedule revealed early signs that the new methods were taking hold, as players began to internalize the coach’s expectations.
Beyond the diamond, Beenken emphasizes relationships that extend into academic performance, pushing athletes to excel both on the field and in the classroom.
Wiebers expressed full confidence that the upcoming season will see a tangible increase in wins, citing the foundational progress already evident.
The early results suggest that the groundwork laid this year will translate into measurable improvement, positioning the program for a brighter future.
