BASES LOADED: No. 16 Oak Ridge looks to thrive with young lineup

No. 16 -- Oak Ridge War Eagles

2023: 17-14 (Finished 2nd in District 13-6A/Area Finalist)

JJ Pierce returns to direct Oak Ridge, fresh off the heels of ending up in the No. 2 spot in the crowded District 13-6A. prior to advancing to the second round of the 2023 playoffs.

This year’s club will be rejuvenated with a younger lineup, while the bullpen will remain stout as usual.

We’ll see some newer faces this Spring in the War Eagles’ lineup, however, they’re still trending in the right direction. The headliners include Aidan Morgan, Hudson Mitchell, Nate Pendland, Jacob Evans (Texas A&M) and Conner Cramer.

Evans will likely be the ace of the staff.
