TOP PLAYERS
Name, Position, Class (College Commitment)
Connor Aldrich, INF, 2019 (Charleston Southern)
Bryan Muniz, INF/RHP, 2020 (Miami)
Dylan Simmons, RHP, 2019 (FSU)
Austin Thomas, RHP, 2019 (Miami)

X-FACTOR
Austin Thomas. Coming off a year where he was only able to take the mound twice, the Miami commit appears healthy and ready to go in 2019. He is a frontline talent and can make a huge impact in 2019.

KEY PLAYERS LOST
Tyler Isenberg

OUTLOOK
Returning the majority of their starting lineup as well as their starting rotations, Trinity looks primed to make another run at the 4A state title in 2019. Led by FSU recruit Dyland Simmons, who not only a force on the mound, but also batted .421 in 2018. Austin Thomas will look to sure up the front end of the rotation with starters Matt Crump and Justin Parish returning who combined for a total of 13 wins. The offense will be held down by senior Connor Aldrich and junior Bryan Muniz in the middle of the order. The Conquerors are experienced, talented and balanced heading into 2019.
