Watch for junior RHP Brennan Hutchinson and senior LHP Ethan Block to contribute on the mound this spring and for junior ULT/RHP Andrew Clark to have an impact as two-way player. Burch will also add innings on the mound to round out the pitching staff.  The Pirates are tested and ready to make a run this spring the GKC Suburban Conference and beyond.
