Final Comments:
Our players have put in a lot of work to prepare for the season. We will have a younger team in 2024 with only 2 seniors. Offensively we return a good amount of production from last year, and have been encouraged with the jumps some of our guys have made this offseason. We will need to find consistency on the mound from new guys as we graduated most of our pitching from last year. We want to get better every day and be playing our best at the end of the year. Good luck to everyone as the season starts!
