Strengths/Question Marks:  Our strength is our fundamentals on defense. We need to fill some vacancies in our lineup with some of our younger players and improve our quality at bats throughout our lineup.

Outlook: “NHS will be a competitive young team battling in a tough Freedom Division. Brooks Saft, a four-year starter behind the plate is a big part of our defensive success.  He has been an outstanding leader and will continue his playing career at Babson College.  Tyler Corino, a three-year starter, has taken the ball in every tough matchup over his high school career.  He will continue his playing career at Washington College.  Nate Klossner, a three-year outfielder, has played all three outfield positions.  We will count on our younger players developing their baseball IQ and contributing to a competitive season.”
