Expected Team Strength - The team will return 3 out of 4 starting pitchers, and all 3 relief pitchers will be returning as well. 7 out of 9 starters return on defense. While the team is still relatively young, the majority of last years team returns with a good deal of experience.
QUOTE FROM THE COACH:
I am excited to see how our team competes daily at practice with a large number of junior and senior players with experience. It has been great to see the guys work so hard in the weight room and hopefully that will translate to our on field successes in how they battle and overcome adversity daily.
