2024 OUTLOOK

”The 2024 Royals return some of their most productive offensive contributors from 2023, along with staff ace Riane Ritter. Solid up the middle, the defensive-minded Royals will be looking to solidify their defense with a variety of new faces who can also contribute at the plate. A number of dynamic young faces could make some noise and help the Royals again make another deep run as they rejoin Section 5 after spending the previous 8 seasons in Section 8AAAA.” - Brian Harapat, Head Coach
