Division: II
2022 Record: 10-10
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 8/6

Coach Outlook: "It is very exciting to have so much experience returning to the roster in 2023. Last year we were a talented but young team starting two freshman and three sophomores. This season we are returning eight starters and three rotation arms along with some experienced bullpen arms. Our experience and talent returning from last season really raised the level expectation about the upcoming season and it has shown in the off-season work the players have put in."
