TOP PLAYERS (Coach’s Comments)
Kase Mattingly, 2016, SS/P, R/R, 6' / 185 lbs, (Profile and Video on PBR site)
Kase was All-District and All-Region in 2014
Kase has good speed and a quick bat. He probably has the arm of a 2nd baseman at higher level college ball. Fearless competitor especially on the mound where he posted a 6-2 record with a 0.98 ERA
John Michael Millay, 2016, OF/P, R/R, 6'2", 175 lbs (Profile and Video on PBR site)
John Michael has natural instincts in centerfield and gets better reads than anyone I have ever coached. Has a good arm for the position. Has continued to work on his swing and quick hands and better pitch recognition to go along with good speed should have a big year.
Josh Durbin, 2016, P, R/R, 6'3" / 180 lbs
Josh has unbelievable upside, but doesn't work at baseball as much as he does basketball. Has a good curveball and has continues to increase his velocity. Has a great demeanor on the mound.
According to the Coach
We return 2 of our top 3 pitchers from last year and all starters in the field. We didn't not hit the ball well as a team last year, but have good team speed to do some things at the plate. We expect to be very competitive both on the district and region level this year.
