With tournaments all over the state and early-season measuring sticks already in place, Baldwin County's baseball and softball programs showed glimpses of just how deep the area fields will be this coming spring.

Several teams are off to blazing hot starts against strong competition, while a few others are still searching for rhythm in the opening weeks of the season. Here's a look into the second full week of play on the diamond.
