Coaches Comment: Led by new head coach BJ Gagnon and eight returning starters, the Red Raiders hope to improve from their 8-10 record last year and host a playoff game. Strides hope to be made on defense and the pitching has to take a step forward. An experienced offensive lineup that is balanced with power and speed will be heavily relied on. The defense is strong up the middle, and the top two starting pitchers return. There are several experienced, athletic JV players and some newcomers to the program who could fill out the roster. Division 1 is full of experienced, competent head coaches who are all competing to host playoff games and reach the final four. The teams left standing in the end will be clicking on all cylinders in late May. The list of potential Final Four teams is quite lengthy.
