2016 Connecticut Spring Team Preview: The Morgan School

Team Name: The Morgan School
Head Coach: John Litevich 109-94
Division: Small
2015 Record: 21-6
Conference Record: Shoreline 13-4
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 4/2

2016 Team Strengths:

  • We have good leadership, we have 4 returning starters and all of them are solid ball players. 2 of our 4 pitchers from last year are also returning so I think we will be competitive.

2016 Team Weaknesses:

  • The only question mark that we have is can the younger players step up to the varsity level. I know they have the ability and I believe they will.
