2025 Spring Team Preview: Trinity (NH)

MANCHESTER, N.H. - “Young but experienced.”

That is how Matt Bouchard looks at this year’s Trinity squad, which is coming off a 10-10 season in which the Pioneers started four and sometimes five freshmen.

“We only graduated two and only one was an impact player,” noted the third-year head coach who has just two seniors on the 2025 roster. “We have the talent, but I’m not sure we have the arms to compete with Pinkerton and Exeter.”

Hitting and defense are strengths according to Bouchard, who believes “we overachieved last year.”

The goal is to make the playoffs once again.

“The first year we tried to reset the culture,” Bouchard explained. “Win as a team, adapt to our strengths and execute them. The biggest thing for us is our work ethic. Do the controllable things right. We have to outwork other teams and make less mistakes than them.”

Every pitcher from a team that lost in the first round of the playoffs to Dover returns with junior Oliver Service and sophomore Mason Ellison leading the way. Brady Sirois, the 71st-rated junior right-handed pitcher in New England, is another returnee with Logan Whitney, a Post University commit, the biggest question mark after pitching as a sophomore before being limited by injuries last season.

“We’re taking a wait and see approach on his role,” Bouchard said, while pointing to sophomore Patrick Roy and transfer Hunter Henderson as other potential hurlers. The sixth-rated sophomore catcher in New England, Henderson will also see time behind the plate along with senior captain Tristan Hasselbach, the catcher the past two years for the Pioneers.

Left-handed hitting Cal Lucier is back at first base after starting as a freshman, with three or four others competing for time.

“This is the first year since I took over that I have some position battles,” Bouchard noted. “It will make them work harder.”

Connor Hurley took over at shortstop midway through his freshman year and has now been there for a year-and-a-half. Nolan Lavigne was at third base every game as a freshman and is back ready to show improvement in his sophomore campaign.

Second base is open, with 10th-grader Tristan Lucier, an all-state outfielder as a freshman, anchoring the outfield.

“He’s a sure-fire D-I prospect with five tools,” Bouchard said of the top-ranked 2027 outfielder in New Hampshire, the three-hole hitter last season who hit .458 while striking out just twice.

Service is another returnee in the outfield, with his older brother Jack, an all-state performer last year, leaving a big hole in center.

“We’re young and hungry,” Bouchard related. “Everyone has bought into the team atmosphere. We have leadership with Tristan and Logan and a lot of experience. They’re all coming back with confidence. If we can pitch, we could make a run at the heels of Pinkerton like everyone else is trying to do.

“The key is we need consistency out of the staff. We had a lot of walks last year. If we can cut down on the walks that will be the key to us being successful.”
