OUTLOOK
The Eagles have a lot to look forward to in 2018 after a successful 2017 campaign. A storied program in New Jersey baseball allure, Pennsville returns Virginia Tech recruit Max Dineen, who is regarded as one of the top players in the state coming into the year after batting over .500 as a junior. Dineen can do-it-all – he possesses a power bat to the gaps, and the speed to go along with it. Dineen is joined by East Tennessee State recruit Daulton Montagna, a left handed pitcher with some funk from a lower-3/4 slot who can spin a sharp breaking ball for strikes from multiple angles. Expect '18 catcher Ryan Gray to contribute in big ways in the middle of the order to compliment Dineen as well.
