2021 OUTLOOK:
We return our best pitcher and top two hitters from a year ago which any coach would be excited about. From there we will look at a mix of older and younger guys to step up both on the mound and at the plate. Like most summers we will have an emphasis on our pitchers and defense keeping us in the ball game. Our hitting continues to improve which could lead to a balanced hitting line up this summer.” Head Coach Tony Stenberg
