SEASON OUTLOOK
Shawnee Mission North will return five starting position players and two starting pitchers from a season ago.  The Indians finished 1-6 in one-run games in 2016, but the foundation of winning program was formed with head coach, Jason Day. In his second season, Coach Day will have a competitive group, led by senior INF Chase Kleinsasser and junior RHP Brad Barr. The Indians will look to take steps forward this spring and turn last year's misfortunes of one-run games into opportunities this spring.
