(Nashville, TN), and Trewin Parker from North Dakota State Univ.
Jered Meek is a versatile infielder returning after an outstanding summer in 2013. Meek was a mainstay in the lineup all summer. He was a solid defensive infielder who will be looked upon to continue his solid play as well as providing leadership in the clubhouse.
AJ McElderry a left handed pitcher from Indiana State is returning for his 3rd yr with the Huskies after another successful summer as a relief pitcher. McElderry was a late inning reliever for the Huskies all summer. AJ will be looked to be a late innings setup guy for the 2014 season.
Josh Bornstein returns to the Huskies from UC Irvine. Josh was a valuable middle to late inning reliever in 2013. We will look for him to be a mainstay in our bullpen for the upcoming season.
Parker Trewin is a left handed pitcher from North Dakota State who had a great year in the starting role for us in 2013. He is a pitcher that can both start and come in relief if needed. We will look for him to help solidify the rotation in 2014.
Patrick McGrath another left handed pitcher from Belmont, was a starter in 2013 and had a successful summer. We will look for him to be a starting role this upcoming summer. He is a valuable piece to our pitching staff.
