New impact players: David Northam, Chase Foster, Ashdon Rickard, Andrew Siembida
Final Comments: Really looking forward to coaching this group of young men! We are not very deep, but if we can buy into playing and practicing for each other day in, day out, I think we can have a successful season on the diamond.
Team Strengths: leadership, middle of the field defense
Things the team will need to work on: we need guys to step up on the mound for us this season; we also need to have better approaches at the plate this year and put the ball in play more
Outlook: If we can get guys to consistently throw strikes and put the ball in play on offense, I think this team is very capable to compete at the highest level.
