Outlook: “We return five players who are in their third Varsity season which gives us a lot of experience. I have faith in the depth of our pitching staff and look to use eight pitchers with confidence throughout the season. There is a lot of competition within our program for playing time at this point in time. We have a few spots in our line-up that are still playing themselves out. We have four games scheduled for our Florida trip, so we do not have our normal nonleague games that we play before the league season. I like work ethic that I have seen early on. This is a great group of guys with whom to work.”
Fun fact: “The JV & Varsity teams will participate in Disney’s High School Baseball Spring Training at ESPN’s Wide World of Sports Complex. The Varsity team will get to play two games on the same field on which the Atlanta Braves play all of their Spring Training games. This is the programs fourth Florida trip since 2004 and third trip to Disney.”
