TOP PLAYERS (Coach’s Comments)

Kase Mattingly, 2016, SS/P, R/R, 6' / 185 lbs, (Profile and Video on PBR site)

Kase was All-District and All-Region in 2014

Kase has good speed and a quick bat.  He probably has the arm of a 2nd baseman at higher level college ball.  Fearless competitor especially on the mound where he posted a 6-2 record with a 0.98 ERA
                       
John Michael Millay, 2016, OF/P,  R/R, 6'2", 175 lbs (Profile and Video on PBR site)

John Michael has natural instincts in centerfield and gets better reads than anyone I have ever coached.  Has a good arm for the position.  Has continued to work on his swing and quick hands and better pitch recognition to go along with good speed should have a big year.
                                                                                                          
Josh Durbin, 2016, P, R/R, 6'3" / 180 lbs

Josh has unbelievable upside, but doesn't work at baseball as much as he does basketball.  Has a good curveball and has continues to increase his velocity.  Has a great demeanor on the mound.

According to the Coach

We return 2 of our top 3 pitchers from last year and all starters in the field. We didn't not hit the ball well as a team last year, but have good team speed to do some things at the plate.  We expect to be very competitive both on the district and region level this year.
