Coach: Brad Smith (fourth year)

Conference: WMC Class: B

Last year’s record: 9-8, lost in Class B West preliminary

Returning players: Seniors — Tyler St. Pierre (P/SS), Evan Harmer (C/P), J.T. Magno (1B, P), Thomas Wood (OF); Junior — Evan Plummer (OF); Sophomore — Tanner Mann (OF).

Key losses: Justin McKenna, Brendan Hubbard.

Promising newcomers: Sophomores — John Henry Villaneuva (P/IF), Zack Mann (IF/P), Brendan LaFlamme (1B/DH).

Season outlook: This year’s Patriots return the entire outfield, shortstop, first base, and catcher. Pitching ace Hubbard, whose wins included a 2-0 victory over Falmouth, will be missed. The challenge this season will be how quickly this relatively inexperienced group of hurlers can step up and compete at the varsity level. Augmenting the pitching and defense, the Patriots hope to be a formidable presence offensively, pressuring opponent defenses with solid hitting and aggressive base running.
