UNDERCLASSMEN TO WATCH (Listed Alphabetically)

OUTLOOK:  

The Blue Jays look to climb the ladder in the highly competitive Centennial League this year after a disappointing 2013 campaign.  They lose 6A All-State catcher James Denton, however they return three All-Centennial League selections from last season in right-handed pitcher/first baseman Will Ervin, shortstop Nate Funk and right-handed pitcher Nick Zimmerman.  They will need their solid junior class to step up in order to progress this year and also expect sophomore left-handed pitcher/outfielder Christien Ozores to be a factor.
