Who are some key returning position players and what do you hope to see from them this year?
Cam Reimer is a sophomore utility that led us in most offensive categories as true freshman.
Jacob Allen and Connor Lange are three year starters that will be behind the dish and DH.
Jared Sitzmann is looking for a bounce back year after being BCU freshman of the year 2 years ago.
Who are your key returning pitchers and why?
Brett Sitzmann is moving to the rotation after having a great true freshman campaign at closer.
Ryan Riddle had a good first year is the blue and gold after being a 3 year starter at Central College before transferring here last Fall.
What was the focus and what things did you see from the team in the fall?
We really had to get back to training with a purpose as that got away from us last year. We have a lot of talent but so does everyone else in this league.
What are the expectations and goals for the team entering the season?
We have a veteran team (17 seniors) while also having many impact guys that are young so internally we have high aspirations for what this Spring can be.
