"We are very excited to see how much progress we have made in the off season. We are still pretty young all around the diamond. Bryan is looking at starting potentially 4 sophomores and 2 juniors. The addition of Ryan Galvan from Montana should help us immediately. He has good velo from the left side and good pop off the bat. He should be a huge contributor in solidifying a solid outfield. David Avalos looks to continue his impressive progress. He has reshaped his body to be able to play baseball at the next level. His quick hands at 3rd will also be utilized at 1st. The nice thing that we have done over the years is forced our kids to play multiple positions that they are somewhat familiar with. This comes in handy when moving guys around based on who is pitching and also who is hot at the plate. The progress our guys have made this offseason is unbelievable. The commitment to the weight room and cages has been unbelievable. We anticipate about a .500 season truth be told." - Head Coach Cody Kottich
