2016 Massachusetts Spring Team Preview: Nonnewaug

Team Name: Nonnewaug
Head Coach:  Frank Melillo
Division: Class M
2015 Record: 10-11
Conference: Berkshire
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 8/5

Overall Thoughts:

• This is my first year at Nonnewaug, from what I have seen so far my team should challenge for a league title and hopefully have a nice run in the states.

2016 Team Strengths:

• My starting pitching should be deep, we have 5 seniors and 2 juniors who who should start. Team leadership is strong and should also be a plus.

2016 Team Weaknesses:

• I don't see any real weakness this season, the one thing that worries me most is defense but the team is working hard and hopefully all the hard work will pay dividends.
