The season closes its doors and for Piacenza Baseball it is time to take stock after a year characterized by salvation in Serie B and intense youth activity. The objectives set eight months ago have been brilliantly achieved. The B group proved to be tough and balanced and having obtained an early place in the category is certainly an important result. To further embellish this result is the fact that the squad available to Andrea D’Auria was very young and a consequence of the drastic review of the staff for the benefit of various prospects from the youth sector.
First team and U18
First team and U18 traveled hand in hand, closely linked by the sharing of several athletes not yet of age who, with the necessary support of some more experienced teammates, became protagonists of a performance that on the eve of the championship did not appear to be at all obvious . Even the first round consisted of finishing in third place. It’s a shame that a more subdued return reduced the ranking to a still significant final sixth place.
But what counted most was the approach taken towards the probative examination of Serie B. An experience which also proved to be important in the youth field, if it is true that the U18, for the second consecutive year (the year spent in the franchise with Brescia), reached the national semi-finals, entering the Italian top 16. In 2025, a large part of the squad will remain in the category and there are already those who are thinking big in light of the results achieved in the last two years.

Future of Piacenza Baseball
An intriguing future with a B destined to grow even in its ambitions. A U18 that could represent the flagship of the entire movement. The rest of the youth sector will renew its vitality by almost certainly presenting an additional team, namely the U12 in addition to the U14 and minibaseball already on the pitch in the season just ended. In the coming months the activity will see its continuity, albeit partial, with the indoor outings of the little ones and the preparation of the seniors in view of the spring competitive resumption. The major work will fall to the technical area, aimed at applying the right corrective measures which in the aim would lead to an even more competitive B.
