Strengths: We have 5/6 players returning with varsity experience, along with experience on the mound. Having that experience is key to growing into potential success.
Question Marks: We have young inexperienced talent who have already experienced the huge difference from summer baseball to high school baseball. They will get a bird’s eye view of what a Patriot Division game is like with the new format for league games.
Outlook: “Our outlook is the same every year. We need to teach our players how to play high school baseball in an emotionally charged Patriot Division league game. These games are not matched in any other league that they would play in, and they have a short time to acquire the skill since our season is rather quick. Teaching and reteaching the fundamentals of the high school baseball game is our priority every day. We are excited about the young talent and look forward to their growth.”
