Team Outlook
With one of the most talented teams in Buddy Hausmann's tenure, the Caseys are loaded with depth at nearly every position, not to mention a talented core of underclassmen chomping at the bit. Stanyek, Svenson, and Leary were the horses last year and will look to lead RBC deep into the Shore Conference and State Tournaments once again. Keep an eye on transfers Ethan Marzo and Anthony Nannini. Marzo, a Marist commit, transferred from Staten Island power St. Joseph's by the Sea this year and will look to contribute in big ways down the stretch. Griggs, Andrus, and Scrivanic will head the offense with Passo in the middle of the order, too. Expect Viriginia commit 2025 Ryan Prior to make a big jump with added reps on the mound. All in all, the Caseys are poised for a deep run come June with this lineup and pitching staff.
