Coach: Matthew Bray (second year)
Last year’s record: 9-9, lost in Western B quarterfinal
Returning letter-winners: Seniors — Parker Asselin (P/3B), Brady Dion (INF), Jacob Martin (P/1B), Jared Glazier (P/OF), Noah Pomerleau (OF), Marcus Thomas (OF); Juniors — Jacob Bannister (C), Adam Merrill (P/OF), Matt Arnold (P/C/INF), Brandon Pomerleau (INF); Sophomores — Dalton Therrien (P/INF), Jonah Martin (P/OF), Connor Nilsson (INF).
Key losses: Sam Morin, Dalton Burns, Ryan Riordan.
Promising newcomers: Sophomore — Conor Drouin (OF); Freshmen — Adam Mooney (C), Kaleb Morrissette (P), Austin Noble (P/INF).
Season outlook: The Raiders have quality and depth in their pitching staff and a formidable lineup to contend in the MVC. Asselin, Glazier and Jacob Martin, who threw a perfect game last year, figure to get the bulk of the work off the mound. They’ll have a strong receiver behind the plate in Bannister. Bray has plenty of catalysts on offense, including Dion, who led the MVC in triples in 2013, Therrien and Jonah Martin.
