South Plainfield

Coach: Anthony Guida.

Last year: 23-7overall, 12-2 division.

Probable lineup: Aidan McDermott (Sr., OF); Justin Marks (Sr., C); Rob Eggert (Sr., INF); Mike Polizzano (Sr., NF); Bryan Gillen (INF); Kyle Dickerson (Jr., INF); Nick Polizzano (So., 1B); Chris Graves (INF); L.J. Scarpitto (1B); Brandon Rickert (Jr., 1B); Vin Pellegrino (Jr., OF); Sean Erhardt (Jr., OF); Xavier Wilson (Jr., OF); Chris Marrero (Jr., C-OF); Jake Alba (So., OF).

Pitchers: Kyle Moroney (Sr., RH); Kyle Dickerson (Jr., RH); Joel Curran (Sr., RH); Sean Cullen (Sr., LH); Rob Eggert (Sr., RH); Brandon Rickert (Jr., LH); Vincent Pellegrino (Jr., RH); Jake Alba (So., RH).

Outlook: South Plainfield graduated five starters from a team that reached last year’s GMC Tournament semifinals and North 2 Group III finals. McDermott, headed to St. John’s University on a partial baseball scholarship, is one of the state’s best outfielders. The pitching staff returns 58 out of 209 innings. Moroney (4-2, 2.19 ERA, 22 IP) and Dickerson (1-0, 1.06 ERA, 20 IP) anchor the rotation. The Tigers will rely heavily on co-captain Justin Marks, arguably the league’s top returning catcher. Eggert is the lone returning infield starter. Scarpitto is an excellent glove at first base. Nick Polizzano and Rickert are also competing for time at that spot.
