2022 Spring Team Preview: Hawken Hawks
Team Name: Hawken Hawks
Head Coach: Aaron Brandt
Division: III
2021 Record: 21-6
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 7/5
2022 Team Strengths:
- Pitching Depth
- Team Speed
- Balanced Lineup
Coach Outlook: "Expectations are high if the Hawks can avoid major injuries. Return top 6 hitters from lineup as well as top 4 pitchers, while also getting one key player back from a season long injury in 2021. Nothing will be given to the Hawks, but they have put in great off season work and are set up with pitching depth. Offensive fire power is abundant as all 7 returners had 10+ RBI's last year, led by Dominic Brancel's 36. Finding the right combination of defensive positions will be the key, but the talent is there with key returning starters in CF, at SS and at C. "
