X-FACTOR
KC Hunt. The 6-foot-3 175-pound RHP/SS was one of the top pitchers in North Jersey last year, but what goes more unsung is his bat in the middle of the lineup. A left handed hitter that has already set school records for doubles and launched a couple home runs as a sophomore, Hunt's versatility is invaluable to the Raiders. Battery-mate John Whooley, infielder David Ring, and infielder AJ Wingfield lead a solid returning junior class with experience built in.

RHP/1B AJ Ferrara (Johns Hopkins)

OUTLOOK:
With seven returning position players (all juniors), and a host of reliable arms, Ramapo will look to take a step toward being one of the better teams in the area. AJ Wingfield, John Whooley, KC Hunt, David Ring, David Byrnes, Nick Scalabrini, Jack Hagan, Harrison Klein, Matt Wingfield, Anthony Valvano are all part of a talented junior class who got experience the last two seasons and are looking to translate that into wins this year and next.
