#19 Arundel Wildcats
One of the more storied programs in the state, the Arundel Wildcats are a team to watch again this year. The Wildcats will weigh heavily on Senior leaders Gary Gubbings (Slippery Rock), Antorius Cofield (Moravian), Caden Houck, Nelson Grajales-Vazquez, James Smith and speedster Christopher Ricks. Look for Gubbings, Cofield and Houck to lead the pitching staff, with Junior Dominic Wilder and Sophomore Thamon McGriff providing nice depth on the back end of the rotation.
Offensively, look for breakout seasons from Senior outfielder Christopher Ricks and Senior backstop Nelson Grajales-Vasquez. Ricks brings advanced speed to all facets of the game, with Grajales-Vasquez bringing some thump to the middle of the order. Gubbings, Smith, McGriff and Senior Dylan Orebaugh should also provide well added depth to the lineup.
