2016 Team Strengths:
- Leadership
- Team Defense
Top Returning Players:
- Mike Snyder, SS 2016, 6-4/185 lbs, 3yr starter, signed IPFW
- Jordan Dickinson, 1B, 2016, 6-0/205 lbs, 2year starter

Outlook: The Bruins return two All-SAC players in SS Mike Snyder and 1B Jordan Dickinson. Defensively, Northrop should be solid and the pitching will be key if the junior class is able to step up. Northrop will have to compete with Dwenger and Snider to stay atop the SAC standings this spring.
