2023 Outlook: We finally have a good amount of pitching. We’ve struggled with that the past few years. The depth of our pitching is our biggest strength. We have returning starters who will be in the top of our lineup. With no juniors on the team, our biggest weakness is our lack of experience. We are hoping our 5 seniors will play a vital role in helping our young players adapt to varsity softball.
