WHAT TO WATCH FOR:
Expected Team Strength - I think our biggest strength for the 2022 season is our pitching staff. We return 130 IP out of 195 IP from last season. Experience on the mound will be key for the Blue Eagles this year. We also return some key offensive pieces that we will really count on this year to produce. Many of the newcomers this year have varsity experience from last year which will pay dividends in 2022.
QUOTE FROM THE COACH:
"I am excited to this group compete this year, we have had a really good fall and have worked extremely hard. I'm very proud to lead this group of outstanding young men."
