Coach Outlook: "I'm sure I am not the only coach to have uncertainty about this season. I feel we will be very competitve due to a solid core of very talented seniors. With saying that, having lost an entire year of experience, leaves a lot of question marks. I believe we have some very talented young players that are ready for varsity baseball. Last year would have been a great opportunity for them earn some varsity experience and helped them be more prepared to be everyday players. As usual, our success will depend on our pitching staff. We believe we have some very solid starters, led by senior, Nolan Kubilus. We also return the core of our line up offensively which we feel can be a strength for us, especially early in the season. Defensively, we are strong up the middle with Conner Stewart behind the plate and Peter Jelenic at shortstop and we should have plenty of speed in the outfield. How quickly our young pitchers adjust to varsity level will determine a lot for us. We expect to challenge for a league title in a very challenging Suburban League National Division."
