V = 22 (6 PO's), JV = 20 (3 PO's), no 9th grade team. We have 13 seniors graduating. The big roster in my opinion is for:
1. We play 3 games a week, we need to have enough pitching and enough to account for the flu/bad grades/in school trouble and is benched/and general injury.
2. With 13 kids graduating do you really do a total rebuild next year or do you have an extra 9 players that can learn the ropes of Varsity while only playing in blow outs?
3. 12th grade mentors 10th grade, 11th grade mentors 9th grade....this is how you build a TEAM.
