2015 OUTLOOK
Pella returns top five hitters in the lineup and top two pitchers from last year's squad that will provide a great deal of experience and leadership for the younger players on the team. They will be looking to improve throughout this season and compete for a conference title while positioning ourselves for a top seed in the playoffs. After last year's loss in the substate game, the Dutch feel like they have some unfinished business to complete this year. Pella has had a great 3 weeks of practice so far and the players are very excited for the upcoming season.
