FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — The number one Juco team in California plays right here in central Fresno.<\/p>\n
It’s a group the Fresno City staff has a hard time comparing to any other Rams squad, and pitching coach Eric Solberg has pretty much seen it all.<\/p>\n
“It’s the deepest pitching staff I’ve ever had, which is a big statement,” he said.<\/p>\n
Going on 38 years with the Rams. Solberg knows what it takes to win a state championship.<\/p>\n
With this season’s talent, coach Mitch Karraker and the Rams could have a sixth state title in reach.<\/p>\n
“We have some really good arms this year,” Karraker said. “The camaraderie we have is second to none since I’ve been here.”<\/p>\n
It’s the pitchers that have helped City to the best start of any season in program history.<\/p>\n
“Don’t get comfortable where we’re at,” says pitcher Wyatt Johnson. “Every day’s a grind, so day in and day out, just keep doing what we’re doing.”<\/p>\n
A Clovis North grad, Johnson is one of the Rams’ starting pitchers, making it the second generation of Johnson’s Solberg has coached.<\/p>\n
“43 years ago, I coached his dad,” Solberg said.<\/p>\n
Todd Johnson went on to become an All-American at Fresno State, and the staff at City see similar potential with his son, Wyatt.<\/p>\n
Throw in Bowen Salyards, last season’s pitcher of the year, and the Rams aiming for a top seed and the potential to start their post-season run at home.<\/p>\n
