Manager – Richard Soriano
Pitchers
Will Oldham, Cecilio Smalling, and Chris Reyes.
22 year old Will Oldham leads the staff. Cecilio Smalling brings the veteran mentality to the team as Chris Reyes comes in relief.
Motive
Well known for many years in Southern California, the Beaumont Coyotes enter this tourney with young squad. As former manager David Valdivia lets go of the team, his grandson Richard looks to pick up where he is leaving off. With the majority of their team under 25 years old the Coyotes want to show they’ll be around for more years to come.
