Outlook: “The 2021 Titans look to continue to compete in the deep SOL Continental conference. This group, consisting of ten seniors, has its sights on making a push to the district playoffs. Jimmy Kelly, Carter Hinds, Josh Yang, Dakota Beck, and Owen Petrich will be called upon to lead the offensive attack for the Titans. Robby Porco, Noah Collier, and Owen Petrich will headline the pitching rotation; while Alex Balint, Clay Nehring, Brett Hilton, Joe Rooney, and Justin Marraccini will be called on to stabilize the pitching staff.
“With key returners at several positions, we hope to establish ourselves as a strong defensive group. If we can blend that strong defense with a consistent offensive approach and bring a highly competitive mindset on the mound, we should be in the mix. We have talent and athletes throughout the roster. However, only a few have varsity innings under their belt. We look forward to seeing our kids grow and compete throughout this season.”
