Outlook:
Robert E. Lee is coming off of a solid 2014 season that saw them advance to the 5A North playoffs. The 2015 Lancers return a handful of starters and a pair of pitchers from the 2014 squad as they look to be solid again this spring. The lineup will be led by will be led by Zane Colza (OF, 2015), Joseph Fisher (CIF/RHP, 2015), and Chris Bush (MIF/RHP, 2017). The pitching staff will be led by Peter Block (P, 2015), Ethan Vancini (C/RHP, 2017), and Kye Colza (OF/P, 2017). The Lancers will be a young team this spring but will be very athletic up the middle and have some talent on the mound. If the youngsters produce consistently, Lee will be competitive in the Capital Conference and could return to the 5A North playoffs.
