DURANGO

Head coach: Sam Knapp, 17th season

2017 record: 11-20 (4-14 Southwest/sixth)

Returning lettermen (starters): Twelve (five)

Top players: SS/P Duke Pahukoa (Sr.), C/IF Jason Salazar (Sr.), OF Renae Lara (Jr.), 1B/P Ryan Barry (Jr.), P Spencer Clemens (Sr.), C/DH Justin Lucas (Sr.), P Jacob Bavaro (Jr.), OF Irvin Weems (Fr.), P/IF Daniel Hauben (So.)

Outlook: Pahukoa, who hit .424 with four home runs and 30 RBIs last year, leads a group of 12 returning lettermen for the Trailblazers.

Lucas (.310, 3 HR, 20 RBIs), Salazar (.304), Lara (.299) and Barry (.287) also should be among the leaders on offense. Bavaro (2-2, 3.73 ERA) and Clemens (two wins) are expected to help guide the pitching staff.
