Coaches comment: “Pitching will be our biggest strength behind hard-throwing Alex Boone and crafty left-handed veterans Freddie Mierke and Jake Toulmin. Jackson McBride returns as a potential Player-of-the-Year candidate following a .500 average last year as a junior. I expect us to score a lot of runs at times, but also keep most teams from scoring many runs. We lost three big bats in the lineup from last year, but return five sophomores who played as freshman — I expect those five to collectively fill the gap left by the three who graduated from the program. We should contend for a top playoff seed again.”
Season Opener: April 15 vs. ConVal
