Final Comments:
Strength this year will be the overall team experience, the Junior and Seniors have played a lot of Varsity baseball together. Had the best season last year in school history, will be looking to improve on that this season. Pitching and Defense will be the team's biggest strengths. Offense will take some time to get going to start the season, working on building team speed. Some guys will have to step up that had a down year last year or getting more starts, to make up for losing Timothy Chavies who was big offensively and on the mound. Overall expecting a big season from this team, a team very capable of making a deep tournament run in D6.
