Final Comments:
What makes this year’s team different from last year’s team?
We are very inexperienced. Last year’s team was a veteran team.
Who are the players we should watch for from your team and why?
Our returning letterwinners and our key newcomers are the key players.
What are your team’s goals for the upcoming season and what do you have to do to achieve those goals?
As always, we focus on one game at a time and try to win that contest. Our overall goal is to improve throughout the season and be playing our best baseball at the end of the season.
How does the league look and where does your team fit in?
The Northern 10 is an extremely challenging league in boys’ sports. No team can be overlooked and anyone could beat anyone on a given night. However, I see Wynford and Upper as front runners as they return everyone and their best players are juniors. Seneca East returns talented players as well. We hope to compete with these programs.
What is the biggest X-factor for your team to have a successful season?
We are inexperienced, but we do have a lot of young athletic players who have played a lot of baseball. The biggest thing for us is how that translates to the varsity level. I see us going through growing pains early, however, because we do have athletes, I see us making great strides as the year progresses.
