Coach: John Eliot (third year)
Conference: MVC Class: C South
Last year’s record: 3-13
Returning players: Seniors — Hunter Williamson (CF/P), Reggie Westleigh (SS/3B/P), Fabian Corriveau (OF/1B); Juniors — Josh Eliot (P/1B), Tanner Wheeler (P/SS/CF); Sophomores — Boston Ludden (C), Zack Hill (2B/OF), Russell Cushman (3B/2B).
Key loss: Chris Chappie.
Promising newcomers: Junior — Kellen True (OF/2B), Sophomore — Bobby Sicotte (3B).
Season outlook: Despite the record, the Rebels took a big leap forward in 2015, and they hope that will pay dividends for a much more experienced group. Williamson, Wheeler and Eliot should be the top hitters and will lead the pitching staff, as well. Playoffs are a legitimate goal.
