Well, you know they players well from your league. so without getting into individual players, I will say that I think Bedford will be very competitive this year. They have a very tough schedule, which means that their final record may be deceiving, but the quality of play should be fantastic this year. Their schedule includes Goffstown, Portsmouth, St. Thomas (2), ConVal (2), Souhegan (2), Plymouth, plus other programs like HB and Milford that may not look like preseason favorites, but are always good programs. So by the time the playoffs come, Bedford will be battle tested.
The biggest improvement is just the fact that they return all their regular players from the last 2 years, since this is the first time Bedford has a senior class. So they all have 2 years of varsity experience. Plus they all play Legion and Showcase, etc. The same team that went 7-9 last year and upset the 4 seed Monadnock now is another year older, bigger, and more experienced.
Plus the fact that Coach Blahnik now has 2 assistants, who both played college baseball. He was at a big disadvantage the last 2 years since he was all alone, trying to do the job of 3+ coaches by himself from the 3rd base box. It just can't be done, I don't care if you're Joe Torre. So I'm very anxious to watch some quality baseball at Bedford this year.
And yeah, I know, I didn't answer your question about individual pitchers or hitters (hey, I gotta live in this town!). But I think we're very deep in pitching, and have a lot of good hitters in the lineup. So come check out some of those games against the real tough teams, and I think you'll see some fun baseball.
