Strengths: Senior leadership and overall experience
Pitching

Question Marks:  How quickly we can figure out ways to best utilize our roster to create the lineup that will produce runs consistently.

Outlook:
The Hatters return nine players with significant varsity experience, including seven returning starters and their top four pitchers from last year. Those top four pitchers combined for a 1.81 ERA over 119 2/3 innings pitched. The experience that the lineup gained last year should help the offense to score runs this year. We look forward to the challenge of competing in the American Conference for the first time this year.
