 Classification: VHSL 2A / Region C  2022 Record: 23-1 *State Champions*

The defending 2A State Champion Raiders are back and looking for a repeat. They return a pair of Hampden-Sydney commits, Alex Caruso and Trey Shrock. Caruso was the VHSL 2A State Player of the Year and Shrock was the 2A 1st Team All State Catcher. Along with Caruso, Charleston (WV) commit Wyatt Sisk will be a force on the mound for the Raiders. The Raiders will have to replace some upperclassmen, but the backbone of that state title team is back and ready for another title run. 

Key Returners:

  Classification: VHSL 2A / Region C  2022 Record: 16-6 *Lost in region semis*

Key Loss: Cam Satterfield (Patrick Henry CC)

Jake Moore (Radford) and Carrington Aaron (Virginia Tech) are the household names for the Cavaliers. They have a wealth of experience between the two and will lead the way for Chatham. Kennen Lewis is another Cavalier that has solid varsity experience and has been a contributor for the past two years. The Cavaliers' season ended in a one run game to eventual State Champions, the Appomattox Raiders. If they can get offensive production and get steady innings from some of the arms like Alex Van Pelt (Mt. St. Mary's), then look for Chatham to be back in the mix come late May.

Key Returners:

  Classification: VHSL 2A / Region C  2022 Record: 16-7 *Lost in region semi's*

Key Losses: Cam Nowlin, Nash Thompson

Tucker Swails (Virginia Tech) is one of the best arms in the state and senior Jai Penn had an All-Region year in 2022. Patrick County also returns their senior catcher, Martin Sawyers who was lights out behind the plate in 2022. '25 Jackson Horton could also be a name to know for the Cougars in the spring. With Swails on the mound they can beat just about anyone, but 2A can be tough when you get deep into the playoffs, so offensive production from players like Stuart Callahan and Penn will be very important for Patrick County to make it deep in the playoffs
