Final Comments:
We are returning 10 letter winners from a regional qualifying team, so we are optimistic! Pitching is a concern, as we lost due to graduation, and injury, 140 of our 181 innings pitched. We are working very hard to find guys who want to step up and take on that role. Our group is very fun and energetic, fun to coach and be around. They work very hard at the game of baseball and work very well together. These guys have put in a lot of time to better themselves. I really appreciate all that our coaches do, and we are looking forward to the season!
