Caleb Setliff, C, 2015
Cody Valenzuela, 1B/LHP, 2015
Ross Abrash, OF, 2016
Jeb Bemiss, RHP/INF, 2016

Other Players of Interest for the Saints: Benny Bencks (OF, 2016), Ryan Hansen (RHP, 2016), Sam Barden (INF, 2017)), Nick Biddison (OF/RHP, 2018), and Hayden Mitchell (INF/C, 2017)

OUTLOOK:
After ending the 2014 season with a 15-7 record, Coach Szymendera looks to return a St. Christopher's squad that will be talented and experienced.  The Saints are balanced on offense and defense and look to make a run deep into the postseason.  St. Christopher's will look to Ross Abrash, Steven Atkinson, and Sam Griffin to set the table for Caleb Setliff, Cody Valenzuela, and Sam Partee.  On the mound, Jeb Bemiss will be the #1 for the Saints and will face some tough teams in the Virginia Prep League.  Bemiss has emerged as one of the better arms in the 2016 Class, with a fastball that sits 83-87mph, to go along with, a breaking ball that is 72-74mph.  Be on the lookout for underclassmen Nick Biddison and Hayden Mitchell to emerge a high-end prospects by the end of the 2015 season.
