As we prepare for the upcoming 2015 high school season, we will be taking a preseason glimpse at programs from around the state.

Team: St. John's College
Nickname: Cadets
District/Conference: Washington Catholic Athletic Conference
Head Coach: Mark Gibbs
Twitter Handle: N/A
2014 Overall Record: 26-6
2014 Post-Season Finish: Won WCAC Tournament and DCSAA Tournament

Number of Returning Starters/Position Players: 6
Number of Returning Starters/Pitchers: 6

TOP RETURNERS (Commit)
Jackson Coviello, 1B, 2015
AJ Lee, SS/RHP, 2015 (University of Maryland)
Ryan Olsen, LHP, 2015 (Central Alabama Community College)
Brian Tagoe, CF, 2015 (LaSalle University)
Cam Remalia, RHP/3B, 2016
Josh Simon, C/OF, 2016 (Virginia Commonwealth University)

Other Players of Interest for the Cadets:  Brett Simon (2015, LaSalle University), Anders Assarsson (RHP, 2016), Niko Jenkins (RHP/2B, 2016), Myles Mensah (RHP/SS, 2016), Alex Taylor (CF, 2016), Ethan Forbes (LHP/OF, 2017), Gabe Levine (RHP/1B, 2017), Jack Pecilunas (RHP/3B, 2017), Jack Roberts (SS, 2017), Jake Steinberg (RHP/SS, 2017).

Outlook:
St. John’s College is coming off of an outstanding 2014 season that saw it win the WCAC and DCSAA Tournaments. While the Cadets lost some key pieces to their line-up from last year and none of their returning pitchers has started more than four games, St. John’s has a lot of talent coming back and will be dangerous again in 2015. The Cadets’ offense will be led by All-American A.J. Cole (MIF/RHP, 2015), Brian Tagoe (OF, 2015), Brett Simon (C, 2015), and Jackson Coviello (1B, 2015). Ryan Olsen (LHP, 2015) and Cam Remalia (RHP/CIF, 2016) have the most experience of the returners on the mound and Ryan Wanner (RHP, 2015) should contribute again after missing 2014 with an injury. The Cadets, as always, are an extremely talented team that is among the favorites to repeat as WCAC and DCSAA champions in 2015.
