Rashad Lewis - OF/IF - 2016 Grad, Can really swing it form the left side and can really run. Hit over .400 last year, has some gap to gap power. Stole over 35 bases last year.

Tyler Graham - SS/RHP - 2016 Grad, Solid Defensive player at SS. Good actions and arm strength across the diamond. Solid off the mound as well. Mid 80's with goof breaking stuff.

According to the Coach

Pitching will be a strength for us with Easton McGee (UK Commit) Keaton Scruggs (Murray St. Commit) and Luke Brown (Murray HS Transfer). Defense will be a strength for us as well. Offense is up in the air at this point. But we have overall good team speed. If we can get on we should be able to scratch across some runs.
