Jake Clemente - Clemente commit heads into his senior year as one of the top arms in the 2022 class. Expect a big spring out of the Florida commit in order for Douglas to get back to the State Championship.

OUTLOOK

Stoneman Douglas is coming off a State Championship and may have a better team in 2022. They are very experienced with a stable of arms and a lineup that is solid from 1-9. The Eagles should match up with anyone. They have youth on the left side of the infield with possible 2 sophomores who are very talented but do have playoff experience. Should play great defense. Coach Fitz fully believes they are a complete team with excellent arms, deep lineup with power and overall team speed, great depth and a group of guys that just want to win. Stoneman Douglas should be one of the best teams in the nation in 2022.
