WHAT TO WATCH FOR:
Expectations for Team - The strength of this East Wake squad looks to be their defense and veteran bats they return from last year. The strong defense and veteran bats will be key as they look to new faces to pitch important innings for them. If those arms can develop quickly the Warriors should be in position for another playoff appearance.

Expected Team Strength - The Warriors have a lot of defensive experience back from 2022.  This should take the pressure off of the pitchers.  They also have 6 returning bats back from last year's second round playoff team. 

QUOTE FROM THE COACH:
The guys have bulked up in the weight room and have become a more cohesive unit.  Playing together and holding each other accountable affords the team the opportunity to play selfless baseball and perform at a high level.  Really excited about the upcoming season as we watch the returners grow and the new guys mix into the group.
