TOP RETURNERS
2015, Parker Rasmussen, RHP/SS/3B, 1st Team All-District, 2nd Team All-Conference
2015, Connor Christiansen, RHP, Honorable Mention All-Conference

UNDERCLASS PLAYERS TO WATCH
2016, Ben Dotzler, RHP/SS/3B, 1st Team All-Conference and 1st Team All-District
2017, Adam Grote, RHP/IF

2015 OUTLOOK
The Falcons have high hopes for 2015 as they return all 4 starting pitchers from last year and had a miniscule staff ERA of 1.73. Maple Valley-Anthon Oto, Ridge View, Woodbury Central and Lawton Bronson will pose stiff competition to OA-BCIG in conference play. If the Falcons can manufacture offense- their pitching should be able to keep them in most every game this season.
