2024 Spring Team Preview: Mechanicsburg Indians

Team Name: Mechanicsburg Indians
Head Coach: Bryan Eyink
Division: IV
2023 Record: 16-5
2023 Tourney Finish: Sectional Finals loss to Northmoor
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 6/2

Coach Outlook: "Mechanicsburg has had a good run over the past 6 seasons. There is a youth movement coming in with a lot of younger players getting their first taste of varsity experience. We are looking forward to continuing to build a competitive program with hard-working players that are ready to compete every pitch. I am excited to see some of the younger guys come in and take on leadership roles within the program."
