OUTLOOK

Coach Cudjo: "The Charlotte Tarpons will return 6 starters from last year including their top 3 pitchers from 2023. The core of their lineup is a year older and after playing a challenging schedule in 2023, they're poised to take the next step. In 2024 they will once again play a challenging schedule, including heading to the Perfect Game High School invitational. They will rely on their pitching and defense with timely hitting. The top 3 pitchers, '24 Dalton Hill, '25 Frank Planer, and '25 Edwin Feliciano all made strides over the summer to hone their craft and boast fastballs in the mid 80's with complimentary pitches. Their lineup will once again be anchored by '25 Dylan Klossner, who is coming off a team high BA of .361 and ended the season with a 12 game hitting streak. The lineup will look for consistent production from '24 Braddock Marshall, ''24 Jacob Evak, '25 Frank Planer, and '25 Edwin Feliciano. They will also rely on key contributions from '25 Aidan Hardy and '25 Luke Wadsworth; they will also need strong seasons from newcomers '26 Dominic Giglio and '27 Brody Brantley.”
