You always just hope that this is the season, where everything comes together, as
the Jacks look for their first winning season since 2017 and that elusive WAC Conference tournament appearance in 2024, with the question of can the bullpen hold what the offense can provide?

Axe'Em

10.37 ERA amongst the returning pitchers. O.U.C.H.!!!!

Lots of new pitchers to try and improve that number (I hope)

As team practice gets underway, Head Baseball Coach @CoachCSFA gives a quick preview of the 'Jacks and highlights Interact with the Jacks this Saturday!

Don't miss out, get your tickets now!

Nice.
