2025 Outlook: Our strong pitchers are juniors this year and they have been starting since their freshmen year. We believe we will continue to pitch well. Our lineup has a lot of depth with a lot of players with varsity experience because we didn’t graduate any seniors last year. How will we respond to adversity is the question.
