Season Outlook
Fallston is looking to build off their 2015 season where they finished second in the UCBAC upper division and made it to the sectional semi final. Leading the way will be ace pitcher Bryce Logan who had a win-loss record of 3-3 in 34.2 innings with a 1.41 ERA and two complete games.  Logan will give the team a chance to win every time he is out of the mound. Senior AJ Gibbons will once again be in the closer role for the Cougars. One question will be finding the depth on the pitching staff in the rotation as the No. 2. They do have numerous arms coming up from the JV program that should vie for a spot. 

On the offensive end, seniors Gibbons and Collin Gay will lead the offensive attack. Gibbons hit .346 at the top of the order and will again be a pest for the Cougars.  Gay hit .304 while providing stellar defense for the Cougars from the shortstop position. Keep an eye on 2018 Everett Cox at second for Fallston along with transfer from Virginia Noah Hagenston. It will be tough to replace the offense lost from the graduation of Jake Brelesky, Jared Perry, and Mac Nelson. Overall with Logan on the mound Fallston will be a tough team and could be a candidate for a strong second half as the team gets comfortable in new spots.
