The Warriors out of Clearwater, FL, have continued to rise in the PBR Florida Power 25 Rankings throughout the season to their current spot at No. 2 with a 20-0 record. They have been able to keep their undefeated season going behind not only strong pitching, but production from up and down the lineup as well. 2019 LHP Nolan Hudi has led the way for the Warriors on the mound, who has a team-leading 51 strikeouts in 34 innings pitched with an impressive 0.21 ERA. 2017 SS/RHP Graham Hoffman has closed several games, striking out 19 in 10 innings to go with a .088 opponents’ batting average. On the offensive side, 2018 C Matheu Nelson has powered the Warriors' lineup by driving in 31 runs behind a .424 average. 2018 OF Eric Kennedy leads the team in batting at a .536 clip while also just behind Nelson with 26 RBIs. Hoffman also has knocked in 26 runs on the season to go along with a .390 batting average.
