OUTLOOK:

Cincinnati Christian comes into the 2014 season as one of the top ranked Division IV teams in the state. They are returning seven starters and four pitchers and will be led by a solid core group of seniors. With that said, Cincinnati Christian looks to repeat as conference champions and is a team to watch out for when it comes to the playoffs. It will be tough replacing the loss of 2014 graduate Ryan Arrington, but there are plenty of familiar faces doting the lineup.
