2018 Spring Team Preview: Archbishop McNicholas Rockets

Team Name: Archbishop McNicholas Rockets
Head Coach: John Christmann
Division: II
2017 Record: 9-15
Conference Record: GCL Co-ed, Central Division, 3rd
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 5/1

Team Strengths:

  • Defense
  • Baseball IQ
  • Players accepting their roles

Coach Outlook: “I really like our returning defense. We have several very good defenders. Our hitting will be good and our team baseball IQ is very high. We will have several new starting pitchers and will have very little experience on the mound.”

PBR Outlook: Look for the Rockets and coach Christmann to bounce back in 2018 with a nice group of upper and lower classmen. If the Rockets can find some arms, they should be competitive all year.
