WHAT TO WATCH FOR:
Expectations for Team - The strength of the Lions should be their pitching and defense in 2023. The lineup will feature some new faces, as those guys get at bats under their belts it should take some pressure off of the pitching staff. The Lions could be a tough matchup late in the year as their team continues to develop.
Expected Team Strength - Defense and starting pitching
QUOTE FROM THE COACH:
Even though we graduated a very talented class of 2022, we have several rising underclassmen that are hungry to prove themselves. With a solid defense and good starting pitchers, we should be able to compete against anyone.
