What coach says about this season:

“This team is going to be a joy to watch. They have gelled since day one in the fall. Our new Colonels jumped right in and followed the lead of our returners without hesitation. If you didn’t have the roster in front of you it would be very hard to tell the difference between newcomers and veteran Colonels.

“All of our returners will contribute in some fashion this season. I am extremely excited about how much they have improved and matured since last spring. The pitchers have sharpened their various pitches and even added new ones for a different look. All of our returning hitters have worked tirelessly to add power and consistency to their swings and many have added new weapons to their arsenal like improved ‘small ball.'”
