2024 Spring Team Preview: Lansing Christian Pilgrims

Team Name: Lansing Christian Pilgrims
Head Coach: Jason Orton
Division: 4
2023 Record: 13-20-2
2023 Tourney Finish: Regional Semifinals loss to Fowler
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 8/5

Coach Outlook: "Should be best team in Lansing Christian history. Returning 8 starters from a team that was extremely close to making the Sweet 16 last year, including 6 seniors returning to the roster. Also picked up a solid freshman and a transfer from Charlotte who should both be in the playing rotation on opening day. Lots of buy in from the guys in the offseason, as 10 guys frequently showed up for workouts, despite us being a small school with many multi sport athletes. Biggest thing for this squad is staying focused as our group of guys all are extremely close off the field, so staying locked in always is a must. Entering a new league is an adjustment as well, but if we remain mentally tough and focused on every pitch should find some success. Hope to finish in the top 4 of the CMAC while making a push for our region."
