We have a bunch of guys with high skill sets so if we can identify roles and make adjustments during games we can compete."</em></p> <h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Top Tigers</strong></span></h3> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="968221" first="Gavin" last="Aasheim"] (2022) |5-10 G|</strong></p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">He is a terrific leader for Harrisburg.
