X-FACTOR

Connor Moore - The Florida State commit is coming off a strong Junior season where he batted .550 with 4 homeruns and 9 RBI. He leads a talented SJCD offense in 2021.

Team Strengths

Veteran leadership and athleticism on the offensive side of the ball.

OUTLOOK

The Spartans return an offense with 8 starters including their top hitter Connor Moore (.550, 4 HR, 9 RBI). The offense is experienced and deep throughout the order. On the mound, they return two of their top arms from 2020 in Jordan Taylor (1.54 ERA, 25 Ks) and Bradley Hodges (0.00 ERA, 19 Ks). A team full of athleticism all around the diamond should be a very competitive one in 2021.
