TOP PLAYERS
Name, Position, Class (College Commitment)
AJ Nessler, 2B/OF, 2022 (Pittsburgh)
Ryan Denison, RHP, 2022 (Florida State)
Jamie Arnold, LHP, 2022 (Florida State)
Macklin Miller, RHP, 2022 (Santa Fe)
Wes Mendes, LHP/OF, 2022 (Vanderbilt)
Jake Kulikowski, OF, 2023 (Miami)

X-FACTOR

Macklin Miller - With Alden Segui and Dominic Castellano graduated, Jesuit will ask Macklin Miller to take a big role on the mound in 2022.

OUTLOOK

Jesuit has once again reloaded. They have some really good pitching this year. With their top four arms are being high level D-1 signees or commits. They also have three more arms that are drawing interest by top d-1 programs. They are athletic and that athleticism will allow them to be really good defensively. Offensively they will not be as strong as they have been the last two years but are more than capable of competing and winning a state championship.
