2019 Season:
19-11, Lost in the CCS Open Division semi-finals
Key Returners:
SR LHP Drew Dowd (Stanford)
SR P Milo Cava
SR P Benito Valle-Jhanda
JR OF Thomas Gould
JR P Connor Brady
2020 Schedule:
Serra plays six CCS teams in its first seven non-league games, including Los Gatos, Sacred Heart Prep and Palo Alto. The Padres also play in the Big O Classic hosted by Foothill-Pleasanton in April. Heading into that tournament, Serra plays St. Mary's-Stockton (March 28), St. Francis-MV (March 31) and Mitty (April 3).
Takeaways:
Drew Dowd's junior season was cut short, but he gives Serra a quality arm at the top of its rotation. The Padres have some pitching depth returning, but they lost five of their top six hitters. In two seasons under head coach Chris Houle, Serra has gone 21-7 in WCAL play, but it will be tough to break into the top three this season.
