HATBORO-HORSHAM BASEBALL PREVIEW

Head coach: Pete Moore, 18thSeason

Assistant coaches:  Brett Reynolds (5thYear), Chris Hens (3rdYear), Jim Fasano (2ndYear)

Head JV coach:  Bill DeBoer (6thYear)

Assistant JV coach:  Dan Beck (2ndYear)

Freshmen coach:  Dan Mattson (2ndYear)

Last year's record:  7-12 overall, 6-8 SOL American

Key players: Jake Bianchini, JR, SS; Anthony Bruno, JR, C; Benny Wilson, JR, RHP; Sean Gledhill, SR, 3B; Eric Thron, JR, RHP; Jimmy Tooley, SO, OF/LHP

Outlook: We return six starting position players and four of our top five pitchers from last year, in addition to several other position players who gained some level of varsity experience.  I expect us to compete for a league title and to make a run in the playoffs.  We have a rich history of being a program that has produced elite pitchers and this year’s collection of arms, as a staff, is one of the deepest that we have ever produced; and they are all underclassmen.  If we hit like I believe that we will this year, we’re going to be a balanced team that puts up runs while limiting our opponent’s run production.”
