WHAT TO WATCH FOR:
 
Expected Team Strength - One of our strengths this year will be our defensive play. We have been keying in on several aspects of what creates elite defenders and have been pushing to eliminate free bases by errors. 


QUOTE FROM THE COACH:

I am excited to see the growth that will be made with each game we play. Not many guys on the roster will have Varsity experience so each at bat, pitch, and play they get will continue to make them better. With that in mind we can set ourselves up to play really good baseball in April and May.


PLAYERS TO WATCH

Chance Culley, SS/P, '25, Leadoff potential hitter, has above average IQ on the field with a good glove up the middle

Ayden Gallegos, C, '25, Plus defender behind the plate that does a good job controlling the defense, good situational hitter that understands how to control the barrel to execute no matter his job at the plate.

Jeremy Powell, OF/P, '26, Gap to gap hitter with the chance to run a few out and will look to be a dominant arm from the left side sitting mid to upper 80s

Logan Gadberry, INF/P, '26, Power bat that will hit in the middle of our line up, he will also see many innings on the mound

Denzell Posey, P/UTL, '27, Young returning arm that has a big upside, sits mid to upper 80s and will be a big contributor on the mound this year.
