Final Comments:
Strengths- Salem has got 45-12 over the last two years so we will have a target on our backs. Return two Div 1 pitching prospects so we should be strong on the mound. The Eastern Buckeye Conference is very strong in baseball. Any team can beat you on any given day.
Weaknesses- lost a good group of seniors, must be able to score runs and defend better, can the team handle success and failure, our young players must mature quickly to help our returning core of players.
