WHAT TO WATCH FOR:
Expectations for Team - Walker McDuffie will lead a deep and talented pitching staff in 2023. Dylan Kelly gives then a talented backstop and veteran bat to go along with BJ Brown who gives the lineup pop and athleticism. The Yellow Jackets should be very competitive in a tough Sandhills 3A/4A Conference.
Expected Team Strength - Solid pitching staff and returns the middle of the order
QUOTE FROM THE COACH:
Looking to see how we improve from being a young team last year and having a very good season.
