2016 Foothill Baseball Capsule

FOOTHILL

Head coach: Matt Iglitz, 10th season

2015 record: 9-21 (4-6 Southeast, fifth)

Returning lettermen (starters): Ten (three)

Top players: IF Shay Landers (Sr.), P Andrew Hauck (So.)

Outlook: The Falcons return just three starters from a team that narrowly missed out on the postseason, falling in a play-in game.

Landers (.325, 14 RBIs) and Hauck (3.78 ERA, 46.1 innings, 29 strikeouts) should be among leaders on a young squad.

“We could potentially start as many as four or five freshmen and sophomores, but we also have a nice little mix of juniors and seniors to complement and hopefully lead,” Iglitz said. “We’ve already shown steady improvement over the last few weeks of practice, and we should only get better with more experience.

“This is an enjoyable group of kids that is willing to be coached and eager to compete. We hope to compete for a playoff berth in the Sunrise Region.”
