StrengthsOverall Outlook
With three high-usage players removed, next seasons identity will shift toward balanced contact hitting, aggressive baserunning, and a deeper committee of contributors. Several returning players logged 2530 games last year, and those innings/at-bats provide a solid, experienced foundation.
The offense projects as scrappy, high-contact, and opportunistic, with multiple players showing strong on-base ability and speed. Expect a team that manufactures runs rather than relying on power.
Returning1. Easton Gaff Consistent On-Base Threat--Stats: 30 GP | 91 AB | 20 R | 20 H | 1 2B | 23 BB | Low strikeouts

4. Ryan Cutshaw Reliable Contact Hitter--Stats: 28 GP | 61 AB | 13 R | 15 H | 3 2B
5. Benjamin Jones RBI Producer With Upside--Stats: 30 GP | 76 AB | 14 R | 9 H | 14 RBI | 28 K
6. Aaron Johnson Speed & Spark Plug--Stats: 24 GP | 36 AB | 15 R | 7 H | 12 BB | 3 HBP
Newcomers Jayden Barton (Senior Transfer)-A veteran presence expected to bring maturity, experience, and versatility. Bartons arrival should immediately add depth to the lineup, strengthen competition for starting roles, and provide a stabilizing influence on both sides of the ball.
Colt Hammonds-A developing player with raw tools and upside. Hammonds has the opportunity to carve out a meaningful role with continued growth and consistency, especially as a contributor in key depth situations.
Ayden Simington- A high-energy player who already impacts games with speed, athleticism, and defensive versatility. Simington is positioned to take a major step forward and earn a larger role as his offensive and pitching development continues.
Hayden Shultz- A competitive young player with the physical tools to become a reliable option. With experience gained last season, Shultz has a strong opportunity to step into more innings and become a trusted piece of the roster.
Describe your Pitching StaffThe returning pitching staff brings experience, depth, and several reliable multi-inning arms, with a few clear standouts who anchored last seasons workload. Although the team does not feature a dominant strikeout ace, it has a balanced mix of control pitchers, inning-eaters, and matchup specialists. With several returning players logging 20+ innings, the team should enter next season with a stable, well-defined rotation and bullpen structure.
Despite losing high-usage arms (Davis, Rad, Reece), the returning staff brings enough innings and strikeout ability to form a competitive unit. The combination of Jones, Williams, and Gaff gives the team a strong top three, while Simington and Rogers provide solid bullpen support.
If the staff can cut down on walks and HBPs, this group could become one of the teams biggest strengths next season.
