2016 OUTLOOK
"The Dutch will have a great deal of experience returning from a state tournament squad, including two of its top three pitchers and the middle of its lineup. Falling just short of a title in 2015 has left the players hungry and ready to get the 2016 season started. We will look to our experienced team leaders to help the younger players along early, and hopefully be in position to battle for another conference title along with a high seed for the playoffs." Head Coach Jesse Jablonski
