2021 Spring Team Preview: Montpelier Locomotives
Team Name: Montpelier Locomotives
Head Coach: Toby Hutchison
Division: IV
2019 Record: 18-5
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 3
2021 Team Strengths:
- Athletic Drive: Our team is well conditioned and competitive at everything they do. The boys are driven and determined to win every rep. We look forward to seeing that translate onto the field.
- Versatility: Almost every single player on our team can play multiple positions. If one person goes down, another one steps in to fill his place.
- Leadership: We currently have seven seniors on the team who know the goals and expectations of this program. The underclassmen listen and are able to accept coaching not only from our staff but from their teammates as well.
Coach Outlook: "If we had to characterize the outlook for our season, it would be cautiously optimistic. Every team in the state lost out on their 2019 season and there are a lot of unknowns for us as a program. We have prepared our players to the best of our abilities, but it really comes down to how well they can translate our coaching onto the field. We are led by three BBC honorees from 2019, but the seven seniors have all come together to take control of the team. Our underclassmen have big shoes to fill and I think they understand the expectations of this program."
