Season Outlook

In 2019, the Tigers started five sophomores.  The last time the Tigers started five sophomores, they played in the Final Four the following season.  Lee's Summit looks to repeat that trend in 2020 behind a talented junior class.  Watch for Gavin Wilson and Tommy Lock to continue to improve and play important roles at the top of the pitching rotation.  Carson Pomroy and Jackson Jeffries will anchor down the outfield, while Jon Moritz will give the Tigers a lefty arm and another player in outfield rotation.
