Final Comments:
Team Strengths:

Experience: We return 10 letter-winners from our 19 Win 2023 team.

Overall Defense: Schromm (1.000) Spears (1.000), Maccarone (.943) and Lanier (.910) return as we look to improve on a .938 team fielding percentage.

Overall Team Speed: We are looking to build off of the 69 stolen bases we collected last season.

Roster Flexibility & Depth

Coachability: We possess a young group that learned how to succeed from last years strong group of leaders.

Brotherhood

League Outlook: The Suburban League is a fantastic high school baseball league with many great coaching staffs. Once again, we expect every team to be a challenge including returning League Champions Highland and Aurora. We are extremely excited to be able to compete for the Division 2 State Championship for the first time in school history.
