According to the Coach

We should have another fine looking ball club. Jordan Fucci returns at first base- Could be a Mr. Baseball. Signed with Samford. Jaren Shelby -OF returns in the 4 hole. Max Sweet will be behind the plate again, Kendrick Cruise, Matt Neal ,Trey Sturavant will be in the outfield.Have a nice combo up the middle with Spencer Coop and Parker Selin, and Justice Slone.

Pitching should be another strong area with Parker Yeary, Grant Deaton, Tanner McCoy,Josh Miller, Matt Neal leading rotation guys coming out of spring.
