The 2023 Santa Barbara Foresters are aiming for an unprecedented fourth consecutive NBC World Series title, but building towards a championship is rarely a straightforward process — the winding journey begins on Saturday, June 10.

The Foresters will unveil almost an entirely new roster when they host the SLO Blues in their season opener. Only two players return from last year’s team, but manager Bill Pintard is confident they’ll come together over the course of the summer.

“It just depends on how the boys play. We always start off slow. We don’t have a good June, but then we get going,” Pintard said. “One year we didn’t lose a game after the all-star break in early July. Last year we only lost two or three.”
