2021 Record: 12-5
2021 Postseason: Lost in first round of Division I tournament
Players with varsity experience: 5

Top Returners:

Offense

Jake Dufour – senior centerfielder: He has been a four year starter and arguably the best leadoff hitter in the state.

Pitching

Ty Baker – senior Pitcher/utility: Has been a great leader in the offseason and will be very strong off the mound
Brady Simard – senior pitcher/utility: Look for Simard to be very strong for us at the plate and off the mound.
Alex Blais – Junior pitcher/1b: Has been a great leader in the offseason. He is coming into the season healthy and ready to go.

Coach’s comment: “Our strengths will continue to be pitching and defense. We have had the best off-season attendance ever. Our arm-care and preparation has been outstanding. It will come down to execution of our pitches and getting our starters deep into games. Our defense is very deep. We’ll have the fastest outfield we’ve had in years and a lot of tough choices on who will be in our infield. It will come down to who can hit the ball. Our youth is developing well. You never know how they will match up.

“I am very proud of our team. Our leaders have created a great culture of teamwork and hard work. We have a great group of young men our coaching staff enjoys being around and coaching. Our expectations for ourselves are always high but we also understand its baseball. We will continue with our process.”
