WHAT TO WATCH FOR:
Expectations for Team -  Hough will run three arms that can be dominant each time out in Max White, Tyler Baird, and James Nesta. Look for freshman Jaxon Matthews to provide athleticism and pop to the Huskies lineup. 

Expected Team Strength - The Huskies return a lot of talent on the mound from last year's team.  The Pitching staff should be a strength of the team in 2023.

QUOTE FROM THE COACH:
Our players have worked hard throughout the off-season to develop and I am excited to see our team compete.
