OUTLOOK:  

Coach Neill returns two of the top arms in Northern Ohio with senior RHP Thane Walton and junior LHP Braun Miller (Ohio State recruit). But, he has several questions when it comes to his defense up the middle and offensive production. His squad will be tested more than ever this year as it features several tough non-league opponents. The pitching rotation, which also includes Fraley, Moore, and Mapes, will be key to keeping the Pirates in games as they find their offensive identity.
