2017 TEAM PREVIEW: Garrett railroaders

Head Coach: Brett Ratcliffe
Class: 3A
2016 Record: 10-18
Conference (2016 Record):  North East Corner Conference
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 5/2

2017 Team Strengths:

  • Pitching
  • Defense
  • Team Chemistry 

Top Returning Players:

  • Tanner Burns, C, 2017
  • Cameron Smith, RHP, 2018
  • Carter Back, RHP/OF, 2018
  • Cole Kelham, INF, 2018 
  • Tristan Taylor, OF/RHP, 2019 

Outlook: Coach Ratcliffe brings the Railroaders into 2017 with 5 returning starters. Cameron Smith and Carter Back will need to step into bigger roles this season as Garrett graduated it's #1 pitcher who led them to a conference title.  The offense should be able to produce runs with a bunch of experienced hitters in the lineup.
