OUTLOOK
Westminster Christian looks to be a solid team once again in 2021. They lost a lot of talent from 2020 but return a strong team both offensively and on the mound. The offense is led by catcher Jayden Melendez (FIU) and 3B Sal Stewart (Vanderbilt). On the mound, they are led by senior RHPs Joel Pineiro (FIU) and Louis Castano (HCC). Westminster has enough depth to be a difficult team to face in 2021.
