Looking Ahead: Haverford must replace a senior class that had a wealth of postseason experience and made up a strong core of the lineup and pitching staff. Luckily for the Fords, the rising junior class, headlined offensively by Karp, seems up to the task in 2020. Lineup stalwarts Luke Wallis, Harrison Burns, and Owen Plambeck will also all come into their senior seasons after formidable junior campaigns, while Zach Landry will be back from a first-year campaign in which he started 33 of Haveford's 40 games in the middle infield. A deep bench earned plentiful experience a season ago, with Haverford using the early portion of the challenging schedule to get reps for a large group of first-years. On the pitching staff, the Fords return all but 76 of their 335.2 innings pitched a season ago, as D3Baseball.com All-Region pick Nathan Bass and second-team All-Centennial selection Andrew Johnson headline a deep and talented staff while Brandon Jenkins will return for his senior campaign after emerging as a relief ace for the Fords in his All-Centennial junior campaign.
