2021 Spring Team Preview: Arlington Red Devils

Team Name: Arlington Red Devils
Head Coach: Aaron Cheney
Division: IV
2019 Record: 12-10
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 8/4

2021 Team Strengths:

  • Senior Experience
  • Defense

Coach Outlook: "We have the most players out for baseball we have had in quite some while with 19 kids and 9 of them are Seniors. We return 8 letterwinners from a group that advanced to the District Tournament in 2019. Our sophomore class is eager to contribute in their roles but lack varsity playing experience. This team has had some very spirited practices and are looking forward to having an exciting season."
