2019 Spring Team Preview: Hopkins

Team Name: Hopkins
Head Coach:  Rocco DeMaio
State: CT
Division:  Fairchester
2018 Record:  10-6
Conference Record:  10-6
Returning Starters/Pitchers:  7/3

2019 Team Strengths:

• Returners

Coach Outlook: " Hope to build on runner up finish."

PBR Outlook: Hopkins has plenty of returning players, depth positionally and on the mound. Look for Chris Borter to help on both sides of the field. Jordan Shand is athletic, can play multiple positions, swings the bat, good top of the order hitter. With multiple arms to go to, look for them to be able to match up at times.
