Key Players Lost:

Coach’s Insight: “Our strengths this year will be our pitching and defense. We have several arms that we feel confident will provide us with quality innings this season. Backing up our arms, is what could potentially be a very strong defense with a handful of guys able to play multiple positions at a high level which will create a lot of depth. Offensively, we have the pieces and a lot of potential but quite a bit of inexperience at the same time. It's a long season, so being able to be consistent will be another key factor.” – Brett Skinner, head coach
