STARTERS RETURNING: 7

RETURNING PITCHERS: 2/3 region starters, 5 relievers

WHAT TO WATCH FOR:
Expected Team Strength - We return 90% of our innings pitched from last season. Ethan Califf and Wells Anderson will be a nice 1, 2 punch to start our region weeks. We will have a very versatile roster with guys who can play a lot of different spots.

QUOTE FROM THE COACH:
In year two of the new staff, we are excited to build upon the foundation that was set last year. We have a very experienced team coming back this spring led by 9 seniors. We have a lot of versatile players who can help us in many ways. We return two of our three region starters in Ethan Califf and Wells Anderson and all of our relief innings from last year. Jack Stepp and Jackson Davis will contribute on the mound, both of whom threw big innings for us last year. Defensively, we return 7 starters. Senior Anthony Bennett in center field, Wells Anderson behind the plate, and new comer Mac Morris at shortstop will anchor us up the middle . At the plate, we will be led by freshman Jack Stepp, junior Peyton Stefoff, and senior Anthony Bennett.
