Outlook:  Coach Ginder brings back an experienced group into 2017 led by Mississippi St. commit, Hayden Jones.  Jones is one of the best defensive catchers in the Midwest who also hit .435 as a sophomore.  Riley Perlich, a Wright St. commit, was up to 87 in the PBR Future Games and posted a 2.03 ERA in 2016.  Senior Jake Ostrowski will bring back leadership and experience on the mound as well.  Overall, Carroll has a chance to make a strong playoff run this year.
