STARTERS RETURNING: 5
RETURNING PITCHERS: 5
WHAT TO WATCH FOR:
Expectations for Team - With 5 returning arms on the mound pitching depth will be a key for the Mariners. On the offensive side 5 returning bats and a aggressive style should be fun to watch.
From the Coach, Expected Team Strength:
We have a lot of returning starters that should help lead us in 2024. Our Identity as a team remains the same from a year ago, which is aggressive - we want to create chaos on the bases and keep pressure on our opponents while pitching it at a high level.
THOUGHTS ON THE CONFERENCE:
Northside Pinetown is the only team in the conference we didn't beat a year ago- we feel it will be a similar matchup in late April to determine who will win the conference again in 2024.
