WHAT TO WATCH FOR:
Expectations for Team - Colby Umbarger and Cole Johnnson will play key roles again for the Raiders in 2023. Both provide athleticism and experienced bats to a lineup that will need to score some runs to ease the load on the pitching staff as they develop early. The staff will need to provide some quality innings late in the year for them to compete in the tough Western Foothills 3A Conference.
