2025 Outlook: I expect our strengths for this year to be offense and pitching. Our offense should be pretty balanced 1-9, with some depth as well. In addition to that, we have experienced guys back on the mound as well. We return a combined 10 wins and 65 IP’s from years team, and the addition of some solid young guys, pitching should be fine.
The question mark heading into this season will be the defense (specifically the infield). We lost some key defensive players from last year, and it will be difficult replacing them. If the infield defense plays well, I expect this team to be one of the top teams in the Colonial League again.
