2016 OUTLOOK
"We have a good mix of veteran players and younger guys that are ready to play at the Varsity level.  We lost all three of our starting outfielders, but we return Andrew Fox in Centerfield that played 24 games on Varsity as an 8th grader.  We are also moving 4 guys to OF that will give us some versatility depending on who is pitching and who is hitting well.  We have 8 pitchers that are ready to throw Varsity.  We have four returning starters that are seniors and all have been starters since their sophomore season." Head Coach Derek Flack
