X-FACTOR:

NEW PLAYERS TO WATCH:
Jordan Stubbings, 1B/3B, 2017. 6-foot-2, 195 pounds.
 
KEY PLAYERS LOST:
Mike Baird: Southern Illinois

STAT RAT:
The Titans had a 7-12 record in 2014, but they lost 3 games by one run, and 4 games by 2 runs. Those 11 runs was the difference between not making the playoffs and being a host site for districts.

BOTTOM LINE:
The Titans are talented. As talented as any team in the state of Colorado. Starting with Preseason All-American No. 3 2015 OF and Mississippi State Commit Greg Picket. Pickett is starting to move up the charts in rankings across the country. The highly projectable big 6-4, 215 LB left handed hitter brings explosive bat speed through the zone. Few left-handed hitters in the 2015 class has drawn a bigger buzz nationally than the Mississippi State recruit has and will most likely see his name called in the MLB draft this June. No. 6 RHP and New Mexico commit Peyton Remy will most likely will see his name called as well. Remy brings a 90 mph fastball to the the mound, and has as good of tools any RHP in the state. No. 11 2015 and Dallas Baptist commit Jordan Stephens brings advanced athleticism on defense and offense. No. 60 2015 Jared Case brings a mid 80's fastball to the mound, and  2015 1B Kyle Morse and 2015 OF Nick Mathey will bring offensive depth back to the team in 2015. No. 51 2016 C Cody Maynard comes back to lead the pitching staff. The Titans are a scary team. All they need is one long win streak put together to get on a role. If that happens at the right time they should be talked about in the same conversation as anyone else who you think can make the 5A Final Four.
