WHAT TO WATCH FOR:
Expectations for Team - The Capitals will be a veteran club this season as the return experienced position players Jackson Kosnar, Burke Lancaster and Jacob Grimes along with staff ace Sam Harris. If some arms can step up to provide depth to the pitching staff the Capitols should challenge for the Cap-6 Title in 2023.

Expected Team Strength - Returning position players, returning ace, eagerness to build on recent success

QUOTE FROM THE COACH:
We are excited to return a lot of experience plus a motivated senior class to get us back to the playoffs after a one year absence in 2022.
