What was the focus and what things did you see from the team in the fall?
Our fall consisted of playing eight countable games, so our main focus was getting the team ready to compete. We wanted to get our potential starters as many reps as possible, getting our pitchers a controlled number of innings while making sure to keep everyone as healthy as possible. We focused on a lot of individual development, off season training in the weight room, speed and agility work, and building upon our team chemistry.
What are the expectations and goals for the team entering the season?
Our expectations are to continue to build upon the foundation that we’ve created the last two seasons. We want to solidify ourselves in our conference, not only in the regular season but make a push for the conference championship. Our mindset is to continue to get better every single day, continue to raise the level of competition for our program, and continue to mentor our guys into young men.
