2016 OUTLOOK
"Graduating Logan Jurgensmeier, and returning player Jay Small not going out, will put pressure on the pitching staff early to develop a little more depth than anticipated. Finding a sure glove at shortstop that can hit will be a high priority as well to replace Small. We should have solid offense, defense should be sound, but pitching will determine how far our season will go. We look forward to the challenge." Head Coach Cale Kramer
