Strengths/Question Marks:  “We have a lot of arms in the bullpen, but most are untested at the varsity level. It will be interesting to see who steps up and takes control of the staff. We have a great bunch of guys who have worked hard all off season and are great to be around.”

Outlook:  “Our goal is to reach playoffs. We have been steadily improving as a program for the last few years and now it is our time to step up and show we belong. Our league is filled with well-coached talent, but we have shown we are in every game.”
