OUTLOOK

Coach Andrzejewski: "The Bulls will lean heavily on their experience as they return every position except 1B & nearly their entire pitching staff after only losing 3 seniors last year. The Bulls lineup will be full of 3 & 4 year varsity starters. Look for the Bulls offense to continue to utilize their exceptional speed to put pressure on opposing teams. The Bulls lineup will be led by a very talented Senior class which includes Calin Heath (SCF), Will Rawls (SCF), Matt Thompsen (Rock Valley CC), Logan Maguire, & Eloy Serrata. Followed by 2025 standouts Jonathan Maassen (FGCU), Tyler Cripe (Uncommitted), Ja’brien Quiles (Uncommitted), & Alex Tallo (Uncommitted). The Bulls pitching staff looks to continue to shine in 2024. They will be led by FGCU signee, Troy Guthrie. Guthrie is the type of ace that any program must have to make a run in the state playoffs. The Bulls staff isn’t just a one man show though. 6’9 righty Keegan Duquette has shown to be tough on opposing hitters last year holding opponents to a BA of .136 with an ERA of 0.90. Jacob Traeger also has quietly been a centerpiece of the Bulls staff throughout his time at PCHS. Last year Traeger collect 8 wins on the mound with a combination of Starts & relief appearances. Traeger’s versatility will be relied on heavily in 2024."
