The Los Ba&#241;os High varsity baseball squad didn't have the best of season last year, but this 2010 the Tigers have a decent amount of talent returning to perhaps contend in the Central California Conference.</p><p>Los Ba&#241;os indeed has a bit of potential.</p><p>The Tigers are returning eight seniors and they're returning their junior shortstop in Derrick Velasquez, who started at the shortstop position as a sophomore when LB went 2-10 in the CCC, 6-18-1 overall.</p><p>Los Ba&#241;os also has a talented group of juniors who are looking to take their game from the sophomore rank up to the varsity level.</p><p>Marcus Arista is a returning senior who plays solid behind the plate as the team's catcher.</p><p>Arista was second on the team in RBIs last year with 12.</p><p>Jake Barcellos, who is now-graduated, led the team with 18 RBIs in spring '09.</p><p>Jordon Cortez is another returning senior who should get significant playing time from the mound.</p><p>Jalen Bourbon and Matt Nunes were both pitchers and infielders at the sophomore level last year.</p><p>Both Bourbon and Nunes should play major roles for head coach David Zuniga's ball club.</p><p>Zachery Brazil, Ryan Carmo, Trever Cascia and Nick Gilardi are a few other juniors will be expected to make a difference this upcoming year.</p><p>The Tigers are scheduled to compete at Johansen High's Viking Classic today and Saturday in Modesto.</p><p>On Tuesday, Los Ba&#241;os will be on the road to play against Ceres High of the Valley Oak League at 3:30 p.m.</p><p>-John-Joel Griffiths
