Coach’s Comment: “We will have an all upper-class varsity team this year. There is pitching depth with Ethan St Clair, Isaac Knox and Andrew Bates, all juniors, in starting-pitcher roles, and relief depth with Caleb Lopez, Noah Byrne, Noah Sevigny, Emerson Cheney and Kaleb Naughton. At catcher Jackson Cote is a leader and strong player offensively and defensively.

“I like where our team is at this season. As a team we struggled early on last season, but finished with a strong second half. These players are determined for a strong baseball season and I think this team can make a strong playoff run.”
