SEASON OUTLOOK
St. John Paul the Great is coming off of a tough 2015 season that saw the team grow a lot as the season progressed. The Wolves look to be improved in 2016 and should be a very good team on the base paths, looking to be aggressive and take extra bases whenever they can. If the Wolves can get consistent performances on the mound and offense when runners are in scoring position, St. John Paul the Great should be much better in 2016.
