Upper Darby finished last season with a 7-14 overall record, went 5-11 in Central League play, and finished in ninth place.
It was a less than ideal 2021-2022 season.
The team added three new players last year, but their chemistry development and offseason workouts got hampered due to COVID-19 restrictions. The result was a roller-coaster-type year with big wins, disappointing losses, and “a lot of learning pains,” according to head coach Bob Miller.
However, the 14-year head coach and his players believe this season will be different. The Royals had an uninterrupted offseason where their hardworking, talented and deep roster has grown together as teammates and friends.
“With two years of Covid,” Miller said. “We weren’t able to get into our gym and get a lot of work.”
