PLYMOUTH WHITEMARSH SOFTBALL PREVIEW
Coach: Mike Perez - 1st year
Assistant coaches: Alex Skivo & Christine Taunton
Last year’s record: League Record 11-3 (berth in the District 1 6A playoffs) -- Overall Record: 13-5
Notable losses: Allison Beausoleil (P), Josee Tassoni (C), Emma Carney (OF) - Gwynedd Mercy University, Jennifer Byrne (OF), Peyton Baldwin (SS) – Chestnut Hill College, Sydney Melillo (OF), Gianna Fazio (1B).
Key returners: 2019 All-League members Kammy Kropinski (Sr, SS) - committed to Bloomsburg University, Carly Rosenberger (Jr, 2B), Lauryn Kane (Soph, 3B/P), Hannah Suh (Soph, DP/1B)
Others to watch: Skyla Ruck (Sr, P), Kaitlyn Wakefield (Sr, C), Emily Caffrey (Jr, 1B/OF), Regan Gehman (Jr, OF)
Strengths: Six returning players with varsity experience, including three starting infielders. Pitching depth.
Question Marks: With so many first-time varsity and underclass players, it will take time to build team chemistry. Who will step up and earn the starting roles vacated by graduating seniors?
Outlook: “As a team that graduated eight seniors (including six starters) from the 2019 team, there are a lot of fresh faces looking to step up into new leadership roles. Team goals for the season are: a berth in the District 1 6A playoffs, to win the District title, and earn a State playoff berth.
