OUTLOOK

IMG has the most talented roster in the state and perhaps the entire country. Headlined by projected first rounders Elijah Green and Jackson Ferris, IMG is stacked with D1 commits all over the roster. Players like Brady Neal, JP Ortiz, Nathan Fink, and Stone Russell will be impact players in the IMG lineup. Davion Hickson, Jaewoo Cho, and Mikhai Grant will help complement Ferris and make every opponent dread facing the IMG pitching staff. Expect this team to win many games and lose very few.
