The Riverview baseball team is poised for a strong return next season, as all players on the current roster are underclassmen.

The team's cohesive performance and positive outlook, coupled with the return of the entire coaching staff, create a strong foundation for future success as they prepare to drop down to Class A for the next alignment cycle.
