2017 Spring Team Preview: Hicksville Aces

Team Name: Hicksville
Head Coach: Tim Shock
Division: IV
2016 Record: 10-10
Conference Record: GMC, 4-3
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 6/4

2017 Team Strengths:

  • Pitching Depth
  • Team Speed

2017 Team Weaknesses:

  • Team Leadership
  • Limit Strikeouts

Coach Outlook: "Plenty of experience returning but will have some youth at key positions."

PBR Outlook: After what could be look at as a down 2016 season with a record of 10-10, the Aces of Hicksville will look to rebound with a talented squad. The Aces have an ace on the hill along with speed at many positions, making coach Shock and the Aces a team to watch in 2017.
