Goals: Branford baseball has three long-term goals: Oronoque Division title, SCC title and state championship. Short term goals are to improve on a daily basis as individuals and team to lead us to are long term goals.
Question marks: Need production from our upperclassmen and development from our underclassmen.
Big games: Every game we play... we have one of the toughest schedules in the SCC.
Comments: We have very strong leadership from our senior class, many players who just came off a very successful basketball season. We are a very athletic team who plays strong defense, runs well and is very disciplined at the plate. Our pitching needs to develop and follow suit.
