WHAT TO WATCH FOR:
Expected Team Strength - Team returns an experienced lineup featuring 7 returning spots from a lineup that hit .330 as a team. Lineup should be dynamic with a good bit of speed as well.

Pitching staff should have more depth than last year. Return top 2 pitchers who combined for 117 innings. Depth will be from younger guys stepping into larger roles, and a few players who got experience in the playoffs.

QUOTE FROM THE COACH:
Our staff is excited to see how our team responds to having higher expectations than in previous years.
