March 2, 2015
By John Nolan
Assistant Director of Scouting-Prep Baseball Report VA/DC
As we prepare for the upcoming 2015 high school season, we will be taking a preseason glimpse at programs from around the state.
Team: Maury
Nickname: Commodores
Class/Division: 5A South
District/Conference: 9/Atlantic Conference
Head Coach: Paul Shows
Twitter Handle: N/A
2014 Overall Record: 18-5
2014 Post-Season Finish: Lost in the First Round
Number of Returning Starters/Position Players: 1
Number of Returning Starters/Pitchers: 2
TOP RETURNERS (Commit)
Paul Hall Jr., LHP, 2015 (Virginia Tech, Ranked #16 in Virginia and 370 Overall)
Josh Smith, RHP, 2015
Other Players of Interest for the : Warren Bailey (Catcher, 2017), Andrew Califano (RHP/SS, 2018), and Patrick Rogan (LHP, 2018)
Outlook:
Maury is coming off of a strong 2014 season, which saw them compile an 18-5 record overall before falling in the first round of the playoffs. The Commodores lost most of their line-up to graduation, but do return two good arms. The team will be led by pitchers Paul Hall Jr. (LHP, 2015) and Josh Smith (RHP, 2015) in 2015. Youngsters Warren Bailey (C, 2017), Patrick Rowan (LHP/OF, 2018), and Andrew Califano (SS/RHP, 2018) will have a chance to compete for playing time in the field. Maury will be very strong on the mound and athletic defensively, but will need offensive contributions from new faces to be competitive this spring in the Atlantic Conference.
