OUTLOOK
The Rams return three Division 1 arms and perhaps the best hitter in the state from a run to the regional finals in 2018. Dylan Crews batted .386 with 15 RBIs as a sophomore and will look to lead the offense in 2019. Grayson Moore has made some big strides offensively over the last year and should make a major impact both in the lineup and on the mound. Moore will lead the way on the mound, where he went 5-0 with a 1.77 ERA in 2018. The Rams also return Cade Udell who went 3-1 and Brody Norris who was 1-0 in 2018 and can all dominate a game. Three big arms and a solid all around offense led by one of the top hitters in the state has Lake Mary prepped for a run in 2019.
