2021 OUTLOOK:
“We graduated a senior class with great leadership and we believe we have another (large) class that has demonstrated strong leadership in the pre-season. We have a big roster with lots of depth on the mound and in the field. I believe our offensive output will be a strength of our team, and I'm convinced several guys have taken big steps since last season.” Head Coach Keith McSweeney
