2023 OUTLOOK:
"We graduate 16 seniors from our state runner-up team from last year, so we'll have a lot of open spots for guys to compete for. Luckily, all of our levels of ball had a lot of success last year, so we expect there to be great competition to win a starting spot this year. Pitching should be a strength of ours and with the talent we have throughout the program, we expect that we keep improving throughout the season as guys get more experience."
Jon Groff, Farmington Head Coach
