Strengths:   Several players in the starting lineup return with varsity experience. Pitching depth is strong with a good mix of right and left handed arms.

Outlook:  “The Colonials bring back an above average amount of experience in the field and in the lineup in 2018, with a comfortable amount of depth on the mound. Several players on the roster got an early start at the
varsity level when they were 9th and 10th graders, and this season we hope to start to see some of that bonus experience pay off. The team spent a lot of time in the weight room during the offseason, and we expect to see positive results from those physical gains. This season also marks the opening of our new state-of-the-art turf baseball field, which will add to the excitement. We expect to compete for a coveted district playoff spot from a conference that seems to get better and better every spring.”

"We will open up with two games in Vero Beach, Florida before returning for our league opener on April 3."
