2024 OUTLOOK

”We return a talented group of seniors who helped us have quite a bit of success last year and we have some younger guys who should be ready to step up and contribute as well. We lost some key pitchers from last year's team so we will need guys to fill those spots, but we should have a tough lineup 1-9 that has a good mix of speed and power. If we continue to focus on our team culture and play for each other we should have a chance for another successful season.” - Josh Spitzack, Head Coach
