X-FACTOR
The Tigers return 3 pitchers who logged 15+ innings last year. With that type of experience on the mound; they are optimistic about 2015.

2015 OUTLOOK
Head Coach Jon Chappuis feels that his team will be young but experienced heading into 2015. If their young players can be ready, they will be able to compete. Many young players contributed on Legion last summer and that experience will be valuable filling the positions that Medford lost to graduation. With their top hitter and run producer from the last three seasons returning, and their top two pitchers coming back, Chappuis' Tigers are excited about 2015.
