What to Watch For:
Coach Morton enters his first year at the helm looking to create a quick turn around from 2016. The always tough Cap-8 will present challenges. For the Caps to take the next step, they will need to match up with other Aces around the league while developing depth on the pitching staff. A competitive, motivated bunch should play well defensively and have ways to score runs.
