The Kuemper Knights baseball team had quite the successful 2022 season that was capped off with a trip to the State Baseball tournament in their hometown. They finished with a 20-17 record, the first time they recorded 20 wins since the 16-17 season, which happens to be the last time they played in the state tournament. They led the conference in stolen bases with 170, were second in strikeouts with 217, and led in putouts with 717. 

The Knights were able to go toe-to-toe with defending state champions Van Meter, but fell just short of making it to the state semifinals. Multiple Knights were also honored with numerous post-season awards that tied together the kind of season they had. Below is a list of the players, their season totals, and where they rank in the Hawkeye 10 conference.
