TOP RETURNERS (Commit)
Trey Ramsey, RHP, 2015 (Princeton, Ranked #19 in Virginia)
Devon Adams, Catcher, 2016 (Old Dominion, Ranked #30 in Virginia and #231 Overall)
Clayton Baine, SS, 2016 (Radford)
Michael Coritz, RHP/3B, 2016 (Ranked #42 in Virginia and #293 Overall)
Jack Cunningham, RHP/INF/OF, 2016
Robert Riddick, P/INF/OF, 2016 (Virginia Tech, Ranked #6 in Virginia and #52 Overall)

Other Players of Interest for the Panthers:  Matt Herzog (P/1B, 2015), Kevin Kelly, Jr. (RHP, 2016), Evan Antonellis (RHP/CIF/OF, 2017), Trey Campbell (OF/MIF, 2017), Liam McDonnell (LHP, 2017), Will Salva (OF, 2017), Jason Volpicelli (RHP/MIF, 2017), and Tyler Casagrande (OF/RHP, 2018)

Outlook:
Paul VI had a strong 2014 season that saw them finish tied for second in the WCAC. The 2015 Panthers return most of their team and will be strong again this spring as they have a stacked junior class. The Panther line-up this spring will be built around Clayton Baine (MIF, 2016), Devon Adams (C, 2016), and Michael Coritz (CIF/RHP, 2016). The pitching staff will be built around Trey Ramsey (RHP, 2105), Robert Riddick (RHP/1B, 2016), and Jack Cunningham (RHP/UTL, 2016). Paul VI will be a strong pitching and defense team this spring. If they can generate consistent offense, the Panthers will be contenders in the WCAC and could make a run in the VISAA playoffs.
