OUTLOOK:

Chaminade Julienne comes into 2014 looking to improve on their 10-14 record from a year ago. They are also looking to improve their record in conference play, which was just 3-6 last year. Chaminade will be led this year by senior P/OF Alex Livingston. Livingston hit .333 last year and was 1st team GCL North as an outfielder. Other players that look to provide a lot of contribution include Chandler Spees, Kyle Shoup, Will Duffy, and Cory Lugiano. Spees, Shoup and Duffy all are coming off of years in which they were named 2^nd team GCL North. Also, look for Hoendorf to provide a spark in the lineup. He started last year as a freshman and he carries a lot of pop in his bat. This team looks to contend for the league championship. They are returning seven starters in the field and they are also returning five players with good pitching experience. The experience and depth that Chaminade has this year makes them a definite contender in the GCL North.
