I also want to see myself improve my throw so I can get more outs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How have you felt about the season so far?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I feel the team is progressing much better than we were last year. I have been impressed with this rookie class and the hard work and dedication they have put into this sport. I look forward to seeing the whole team improve over the upcoming semester.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Anything else you\u2019d like to say to the team\/readers?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Look out for the Pioneers this semester as we are hungry for some wins. Roll \u2018Neers!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Congratulations again to Nicholas Stocks on receiving the Baller of the Month award. We look forward to seeing who&#8217;s next!
