Strengths/Question Marks:  “I feel pretty confident that our gloves and arms will be ready to go when we get outside and will continue to be our rock as the season progresses.  We have been preparing to have more productive at bats this season, which we plan to translate into improved run production.  It will be easier to gauge our bats better once we see a few live arms outdoors.”

Outlook:  “Ryan Besachio and Gwynedd Mercy University-bound Jack Jamison are the only two starters returning from last year’s lineup.  With a new approach, attitude, intensity and toughness, the 2018 Cardinals are ready to compete in the SOL.  Our fresh group of seniors and underclassmen have great chemistry, are excited to prove their worth and are ready to bring it every game.”
