#9 Paul VI
Youth, experience, athleticism, and talent are all words to describe the 2023 Panthers. The Panthers return a talented offensive lineup that bolsters an infield that can defend at a high level. They will need to replace the production and leadership that Carlos Irizarry (Penn State-Harrisburg) offered, but have the firepower to do so. Their offense should be paced by Alex Peltier (East Carolina), Jackson Sirois (UVA), Tyler Rowling (Penn State), Mattox Flatt, and a potential other name to know is Will Tighe. Paul VI will go as their staff goes and they have some solid arms that can get it done on the mound. While Tyler Russ (Air Force) will be the arm returning with most innings logged, watch for a breakout year from Virginia Tech commit, Logan Eisenreich. Look for Paul VI to have a strong chance to get to Shepherd Stadium in late May.
