WHAT TO WATCH FOR:
Expectations for Team - Middle Creek looks to be a force once again in 2023. They have a solid 1-2 punch on the mound with Luke Brown and Chace Chaplin. Chaplin will also help lead an offense that features veteran bats Blayse Leonard and Bryce Dail. 

Expected Team Strength - Team returns All State Sr. Pitcher Luke Brown (Clemson) as well as All Conference Sr. Chace Chaplin (Yale) on the mound.  Offense will be led by Sr. OF Blayse Leonard.

QUOTE FROM THE COACH:
We have a senior led team that is excited to get out and compete for another conference title and opportunity to push deeper into the playoffs.
