Final Comments:
Strengths: Pitching Experience, Passion, Program Depth

Weaknesses: Returning Experience

Outlook: Tippecanoe high school is returning an all-state pitcher in Matt Salmon. While only returning 3 guys with significant varsity experience from 2021, coaches are confident that they are reloading with young, up and coming talent paired with upper-classman that are ready to compete at the highest levels.
