WHAT TO WATCH FOR:
Expectations for Team - Cary has a ton to be excited about in 2023. They have four strong arms to run out in Collins Black, Gavin Turner, Alex Manuel, and freshman William Vetter. Turner will impact a lineup that also features a proven bat in Zach Chavis. With their pitching and experience throughout the lineup the Imps look ready to make a lot of noise in 2023.

Expected Team Strength - Pitching and defense.  Six starters return out of 8. Team is physical and used to plying together.

QUOTE FROM THE COACH:
We expect to put pressure on teams, compete with confidence, and bring lots of energy to the ball park.
