2019 Spring Team Preview: John Stark Regional

Team Name: John Stark Regional
Head Coach: Dennis Pelletier
State: Massachusetts
Division: NHIAA Division 2
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 7/4

2019 Team Strengths:

• Pitching
• Defense
• Baserunning
• Contact Hitting

2019 Team Weaknesses:

Coach Outlook: "The Generals should contend again in 2019. The team did graduate its staff ace and top 2 RBI hitters, but has 11 returning varsity members with some good young players at the lower levels. Pitching will be the team's strength, but a solid line-up and good defense should help John Stark make it's 6th straight playoff appearance under Coach Pelletier."

PBR Outlook: The outlook remains the same as they run a consistent program. There never seems to be a drop off with the upcoming classes. Should be there in the end as they know how to win and play well when it matters most.
