Strengths: Great combination of experience and fresh faces. Look to capitalize on timely hitting and solid defense.

Question marks: How much of impact of will losing last season have? And will COVID interrupt this season?

Outlook:  “Our goal this season is to compete in our division and have success with a tough out of division schedule. It will be important for our younger players to learn from our upperclassmen and step up when we need them in big games. We know our pitchers will keep us in games, so our bats will need to come alive, and we need to score runs when we have runners in position. Most importantly, we want this season to bring back some normalcy to our players, coaches, and families. We are just so happy and excited to be back on the field.”
