13 | Grosse Pointe South | Dan | Griesbaum | 1 | We should have very good defense, and sound hitting, but our pitching is inexperienced.

This season's team will start with only 3 players that have any Varsity experience, but many with vast amounts of experience from quality summer programs.

25 | Portage Central High School Mustangs | Cory | DeGroote | 1 | I love our senior leadership on this team. They've been through a lot over the last 3 years that I feel gives them the mental toughness they need to reach their goals.

Really looking for solid contributions from an underrated Junior class as well as some seniors who are making their debut on the varsity due to COVID. We have a lot of arms and I am excited to see who emerges out of this group. Offensively we have really good team speed and should be able to put pressure on the defense in a lot of ways. | 1.

26 | Rochester Adams Highlanders | Jeff | Hall | 1 | Well, since we did not play in 2020 nor have we had tryouts yet, it is hard to discuss any players that may make the 2021 roster. We as coaches get told all of the time that we make cuts prior to tryouts, so pre-season predictions before cuts even happen does not sit well with me. I am not going to add any fuel to the fire of parents. If you would like a preview after we make cuts, then I would be happy to fill out this survey then. | We have not had tryouts yet.

We graduated seven seniors, who were fantastic players. We would have had a very good season. This year we will only have 3 players with varsity experience, but this years 8 seniors are good ball players. However we will have to bring a lot of younger players along to compete. | Leadership and some top end talent. Depth at many positions. | 1.

43 | Grosse Ile High School Red Devils | Mario | Garza | 2 | It's tough to prepare for this season, having not seen a lot of our team play in 2020. We have a solid group of seniors and juniors that have a lot of playing experience. That should really help us get out of gate faster than we have in the last couple of seasons. Defensively, we will have a core with a lot of varsity experience. We're very excited for our senior class, being much larger than we've had in the last 3 seasons. All of our seniors bring experience and depth to the roster, and we are looking for all of them to be impact players for us in 2021. Nathan Brown (LTU commit) has started for us in CF since his freshman season, and we are looking for him to have an exciting senior campaign. Juniors Ben Carter, Ty Garza, and Michael Madrigal all started for us as freshman, bringing more veteran experience to our dugout. The newcomers that made our roster in 2020 before the shutdown have us very excited about the potential of our underclassmen.

46 | Romulus Summit Academy Dragons | Greg | Sombati | 2 | Coming off the unprecedented situation of losing an entire season, I think all of our players are just excited to get back on the field. We finished the 2019 season with a school-record 17 wins, including a 14-5 record in our last 19 games. We were very excited to build on this achievement in 2020, but unfortunately the pandemic arrived. Seniors Charles Coy, Dylan Allgood, Paul Aune, and Dale Sharpe will provide a lot of experience and leadership for us this season. Juniors Jaden Watkins, Nick Fawk, and Presten Davis will also be returning after playing on varsity their freshman season. I am excited about juniors Angelo Reese, Dylan Purry, and Nick Zisi, who will all be making their varsity debuts this season. Sophomores Joel Clark, James McHenry, and Tayshaun Robinson will also compete for playing time after losing their freshman season last spring. We are also excited to bring my uncle, Doug Sombati, on board as an assistant coach. He has 20 years of varsity head coaching experience with over 300 career victories. My father, Jim Sombati, and assistant coach Jake Brithinee also return this season. | I am excited to coach this group of kids. I have known most of these players since they were in my classroom in 8th grade, and they are a great group of young men. Always willing to listen and work hard. Obviously losing the season last year, which was going to be crucial in the development in a lot of our younger players, will play a huge role. But I know this group of kids will show up and work hard every day. | Charles Coy, P/OF. Senior. R/R. Batted .435 with 38 RBI as a sophomore. He was also 29/29 on stolen bases.

53 | Trenton Trojans | Todd | Szalka | 2 | With 13 returning players from the 2019 D2 Semi-Final team, things looked promising for Trenton in 2020. After the 2020 season was cancelled, the Trojans saw 12 Seniors graduate, leaving Trenton with only one returning starter who just happens to be MSU signee Micah Ottenbreit. Ottenbreit earned All-League and Honorable Mention All-State honors the last time he toed the rubber. The team will rely heavily on their SR's and a young cast of promising JR's/SO's with plenty of summer experience to fall back on. Seniors Ricky Kidd, Al Szczechowski, and Austyn Stephens will play prominent roles in the daily lineup. Junior Braylon Hughes' versatility should also figure into the Trojans plans. Junior Brock Beaudrie will handle a deep pitching staff led by Ottenbreit and Kidd. With a lost season, many players will look to make their presence felt.
