They won their first 10 games and then went on a six game losing streak. Last year, the Sharks were 9-6 through their first 15 games.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe\u2019re still very inexperienced as a team for the most part. There\u2019s a lot of intricate nuances in the game that the young guys need to pick up on to maximize the incredible potential we have,\u201d said starting pitcher <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdcthereporter.com\/bull-shark-sophomore-lefthander-garrett-bye-brings-heat-mdc\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Garrett Bye<\/span><\/a>. \u201cThat knowledge comes from in-game experience, making mistakes and adjusting accordingly.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last season, the team was first in the Southern Conference during the season but they fell short at the state tournament in Lakeland, Florida. This year, the Sharks are vying to improve on that using a team with a good mix of freshmen and sophomores. The team has 12 freshmen and 13 sophomores and they hope improve on last season&#8217;s 34 win season. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt is a team sport and we\u2019re playing in a very tough conference where all teams are driven to win,\u201d said head coach Danny Price. \u201cLast year we overachieved, this year the team is still looking for its identity.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Currently, the Sharks are ranked first in the National Junior College Athletics Association Division I in doubles with 42 and second in triples (11). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite a 10-game winning streak to start the season, the Sharks once again are falling short when playing on a neutral field. They are 1-2 on a neutral field. Last season, despite the 34-17 overall record, the team went 4-5 when playing games on neutral fields. However, at home, the Sharks are doing much better going 5-2 in those games. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAs a team we are always ready to get to work whether that is in the field, the weight room or in the classroom,\u201d catcher Roberto Fabelo said. \u201cAs a team we\u2019re always pushing to get better.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Playing big roles in the Sharks\u2019 lineup this year are center fielder Brian Rey who leads the team with a .732 slugging average, catcher Jordan Santos who leads the team with a .591 on base percentage and outfielder Luis Guerrero who leads the team with a .415 batting average.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAs the season progresses it\u2019s easy to predict some rapid growth and improvement, not just because everyone has talent but because they also care a lot about getting better,\u201d Bye said.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This time last year, the Miami Dade College baseball team was facing a similar battle.
