WHAT TO WATCH FOR:

Expectations for Team - Asheville has become one of those programs that seems to have talent year in and year out.  The path into May can be treacherous, but it is only a matter of time they break through with a deep run.  The development of depth on the mound could be a big factor in 2024.         

Expected Team Strength -  Talented young position players
