X-FACTOR
The Thunder return considerable experience on the mound. If the pitchers perform; Zimmerman's chances to improve will as well.

2015 OUTLOOK
The Thunder will be led on the field by team captain and 2013 All-Section/2014 All-Conference Honorable Mention outfielder- Mack Riley. 2016's Taylor Snow and LHP Mitchell Mossman will also provide support as each have received post-season accolades. Zimmerman is a squad based around youth who have varsity experience. With the return of a solid cast of pitching from last season; the Thunder look to improve on their record from 2014.
