Coaches comment: “This team has both youth and valuable playoff experience to build on. A real strength is depth in the field to go along with a very competitive pitching staff. Connor Fennell has established himself as in the conversation for the top arm in Division I. Mike Crowley and Kevin Rouke both had an excellent junior campaign and are ready to continue that Between the three of them they had 13 of our 17 wins. The overall pitching depth is among the deepest I have had in my 19 years.
“On the offensive side, we have a lineup with experience and ability. We know that our line-up will compete every game, which is all you can really ask for in high school baseball. The coaching staff is excited to see how things play out, as long as we put the work in we are confident we will be competitive.
“New Hampshire Division 1 figures to be very deep and wide open this year. Some of the favorites to finish well are Portsmouth, Bishop Guertin, Nashua South and Pinkerton is always there!”
