Coach’s Insight:

“Good core group returning from last year, a fun group that enjoys each other and wants to get better. Our team batting average was almost 100 points higher last year than the year before, very competitive in the box. Still very young, a lot of uncertainty in the pitching rotation.” – Tyler Clubine, head coach
