If the Kelowna Falcons don91裸聊视频檛 improve on their overall performance from 2016, Brian Donohue, for one, would be surprised.

With the new campaign set to kick off this Friday night at Elks Stadium, the Falcons91裸聊视频 field manager is excited about the roster he and general manager Mark Nonis have assembled for 2017.

91裸聊视频淲e have some unfinished business to take care of,91裸聊视频 said Donohue, the second-year manager whose Falcons posted a 25-29 overall record last season. 91裸聊视频淚 have my coaching staff returning to Kelowna and all three of us believe we have a better all-around team than last season.

91裸聊视频淲e are more talented, can hit the ball but more important will fill the zone with strikes.91裸聊视频

Four pitchers on the collected at least 50 strikeouts during their respective school91裸聊视频檚 spring season. In all, the staff fanned 436 batters.

Offensively, Donohue plans to field an exciting team, managing aggressively by putting players in motion on the bases. He knows it91裸聊视频檚 about manufacturing runs in the West Coast League and says nothing comes easy.

91裸聊视频淲e will put pressure on the defence this summer,91裸聊视频 he said. 91裸聊视频淵ou can91裸聊视频檛 afford to sit back and wait for someone to hit a home run, not with this wood-bat league. I like our guys and the speed component to our team this season. We will make it tough of defences all summer long.91裸聊视频

The 2017 roster features 44 players, six of whom are Canadian, including two from here in Kelowna. Outfielder Davis Todosichuk who played for the Okanagan College Coyotes this past spring will play his second summer with the Falcons, while pitcher and KSS grad Connor Runnalls will play his first season.

91裸聊视频淚 like the makeup of our team this summer,91裸聊视频 said general manager Mark Nonis. 91裸聊视频 I think Bryan and his coaching staff have recruited well and I91裸聊视频檓 excited to see what our guys can do to excite our fans. We won the Eastern Division pennant just two summers ago and I know our fans are hungry for more.91裸聊视频

The Falcons will open the new season at home to the Port Angeles Lefties in a three-game series, beginning Friday at 6:35 p.m.

As has become tradition, the club91裸聊视频檚 2017 home opener features free admission, courtesy of Telus.

The Lefties are the newest team to the West Coast League, formally the Kitsap Bluejackets, who the Falcons swept all six games from last season.

The Falcons report date and only practice for the players is this Thursday. Most players will be in town by then, however a number of others are still participating in their school91裸聊视频檚 playoff tournaments and will join the team later in June.
