OUTLOOK
The DuBourg Cavaliers will switch divisions this year from AAA Large and AAA small and should have an impact on the overall team record.  The Cavaliers will lean heavily on their underclass, having just two seniors returning to the 2015 roster, RHP Nick Legrand and RHP Brendan Rakers.  Sophomore Tom Bick, a 6-foot-3 180-pound left handed hitting RF, had a productive freshman year and looks to lead the Cavaliers this spring.  In 2014, Bick batted .376 with a .548 slugging percentage.  He finished with 11 extra base hits and 18 RBI.  Juniors Thomas Kinney and Tim Greer will have an increased role on the mound and in the outfield.  Kinney posted a 6.24 ERA in 24.3 innings as a junior, while Greer finished with a 2-1 record recording 23 strikeouts in 27 innings.  In 2015, the Cavaliers will be young and talented, looking to gain momentum in conference play and into district play.
