WHAT TO WATCH FOR:

Expected Team Strength - We believe that our defense will be the strength of our team. Although we are young, we have worked very hard at making routine plays around the diamond. Our team has bought in to doing the little things at the plate and we hope to limit strikeouts and do as much as we can in creating chaos on the offensive side. 

QUOTE FROM THE COACH:

After losing 8 starters and other key players from last year's District 5 champions, we look forward to the growth of returning role players and younger athletes. They have worked extremely hard in the offseason and are excited about their opportunity to compete in a very tough league.

PLAYERS TO WATCH

Kevin Elias, SS, 2025, Uncommitted, Kevin is our unquestioned leader and is ready to make a big leap this year as our starting SS and leadoff guy. He has elevated his already solid defensive skills and has shown incredible growth at the plate this offseason. One of our two returning starters.

Kory Brame, INF/P, 2026, Uncommitted, Kory is expected to lead us on the mound and handles the bat extremely well at the top of the lineup and makes consistent contact while having a great feel for the game.

Tyler Burnette, CF, 2025, Uncommitted. One of two returning starters. Tyler will be manning CF for us this spring and hit in the top of our lineup. He handles the bat very well and is consistent at putting the ball in play. He is our lone returning outfielder, switching from LF to CF.

Brooks Mullinax, C/OF, 2027, Uncommitted. Brooks will step into a tough role as our starting catcher. He provides great athleticism behind the dish. Additionally, he is one of our fastest guys on the team and we expect for him to make great strides at the plate from a year ago. We look forward to his growth and maturity over the next few years and we see him having a bright future.

Tyler Morey, INF, P, 2028, Uncommitted. Tyler has tremendous upside and has worked extremely hard in the weight room. We will look for him to move around between 1B and 3B defensively and be a major piece in the middle of our lineup. Tyler has big upside at the plate and makes loud contact.
