2025 SEASON OUTLOOK:

"With 4 returning senior pitchers, the staff is deep and talented. Several juniors will supplement the senior pitchers for a staff that should go 7-8 deep. Defense should be strong as the team returns 3 starting infielders and has good athletes to replace the outfield spots that graduated. Offensive consistency will be the key. It faltered down the stretch as the team faced a string of #1 pitchers in 2024, so this year's squad will need to figure out ways to keep up pressure offensively. The top of the lineup is set and should be strong, the team will need to find consistent contributors in the 6-9 spots in the order if the team is going to be able to capitalize on strong pitching." -Coach Baughn
