2024 Spring Team Preview: Amherst Steele Comets

Team Name: Amherst Steele Comets
Head Coach: Matt Rositano
Division: I
2023 Record: 19-9
2023 Tourney Finish: Sectional Finals loss to Avon Lake
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 6/2

Coach Outlook: "The 2024 season brings an exciting blend of great young talent, along with exceptional senior leadership. With 8 returning lettermen - including 6 returning starters - in game experience will be a huge benefit early in the year, as the talented newcomers get their feet wet. The pitching staff should be excellent as always, and if the offense can give them some run support, it could make for some exciting baseball in Amherst."
