X-FACTOR

AJ Goytia - The speedy catcher takes over as the Eagles primary backstop with Salvador Alvarez graduating. He will be a big factor for the team offensively as well as controlling the run game behind the plate.

 

OUTLOOK

Montverde Academy has a talented team year after year, but this 2023 team could be a special one. 7 Division 1 commits that will impact the game on a daily basis. The pitching staff will bring velo and be a hard group to hit off. Defensively, they are very sound behind the plate, in the infield, and in the outfield. At the plate, the lineup is deep and filled with complementary pieces that can bring contact, speed, and power to the game. Look for this Montverde team to be very competitive in 2023.
