According to the Coach

We are very excited for the 2015 season. I feel like we will be very strong in all three phases of the game this spring. We will have more depth than before on the mound as well as offensively. Our pitching and defense should give us a chance to be very successful this spring. There is talent on this team, and our ability to make sure we are as fundamental as can be and do the little things will make the difference for our team this spring
