2022 OUTLOOK:

“The Packers will be led by Senior Catcher Sam Hodoly.  The Packers will be young on the left side of the infield, but have a strong presence in the outfield and behind the plate.  The pitching staff will be led by a group of younger arms in Max Teeters and Lou Hodoly.  We look to be competitive in all aspects of the game, and have experience in both the infield with Jose Lora and Josue Lopez, and Outfielders Yoandy Briceño, Jimmy Smith, and Cameron Rangel.  We will do our best to be creative at the plate, and try to swipe as many bases as possible.”
