OUTLOOK
The Mexico Bulldogs will open the season as the #6 ranked team in Missouri Class 4, after 21-8 season a year ago.  Jefferson College recruit Cody Creed, a two-time All-State RHP, will lead the charge.  Creed is currently second all-time in strikeouts and ranks in the top ten in wins for Mexico High School.  He looks to build on his 4-1 record a season ago, where he fanned 65 batters in 41-plus innings pitched.  Senior LHP Thomas Clay will add a nice righty-lefty combo on the mound. Clay finished last season with a 3.26 ERA, earning 25 strikeouts in 19.1 innings.  Senior Tyler Bracht will lead the offense, hitting at a .411 clip with an on-base percentage of .575 in 2014.  Junior D'Milo Nunnelly is a power and speed threat that the Bulldogs will feature in the line-up, with 4 home runs and 8 stolen bases as a sophomore. The Bulldogs have a good mix of talented seniors and juniors, making them threat to anybody in Missouri Class 4.
