2019 Season:

30-3, SJS Division II champions

Key Returners:

SR RHP/SS TJ Nichols (Arizona)
SR C Carson Blatnick (Washington)
SR OF Andrew Paolini
SR LHP Kai Peterson

2020 Schedule:

Oakmont's posted schedule is a SJS heavy lineup including Folsom, Granite Bay, Cosumnes Oaks and Woodcreek. It won the Foothill Valley League by four games last year, but Lincoln could pose the biggest threat to a title repeat.

Takeaway:

No player shot up the pecking order this summer like TJ Nichols, who got up to 96 MPH on the mound after turning in one of the top two-way seasons as a junior. Blatnick is a very good catcher and Kai Peterson returns after going 9-1 with a sub one ERA. It will be hard for Oakmont to match last year's season, but don't expect too much of a dropoff.

2 Varsity pitchers are having Tommy John Surgery so Nichols will have to carry them.
