Top Newcomers: The four names above will be relied upon to move the needle this year for Pearl City but they've made a pair of additions over the summer who will be also looked to for big contributions this year. '25 RHP Halona Felix (uncommitted) joins Pearl City and will be a welcomed addition to the pitching staff with plenty of innigs on-deck this season. '27 OF/LHP Ian Wicklund (uncommitted) also joins the team and will provide some youth to the lineup, as well as provide some impact for years to come.

Pearl City enters the season with confidence as they return a strong unit on the dirt and have received several reinforcements, arms wise, over the offseason. The Chargers will be a fun follow throughout the season and should draw plenty of attention with one of the top players in the State taking the shortstop position each gameday.
