2016 Spring Team Preview: Ashland Arrows

Team Name: Ashland Arrows
Head Coach: Rob Lavengood
Division: I
2015 Record: 12-12
Conference Record: Ohio Cardinal Conference, 7-7
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 5/2

2016 Team Strengths:

• Two solid pitchers for league games
• We will be athletic and fast
• Attitude and work ethic

2016 Team Weaknesses:

• Inexperienced
• Good pitching depth

Coach Outlook: "We have two solid pitchers at the top of our rotation, Logan Brewer and Hunter Krebs. We have to replace most of our infield. I like most of our guys moving up from JV though. We will be athletic but inexperienced. "

PBR Outlook: A young, inexperienced but very athletic group for coach Lavengood and the Arrows in 2016. To go along with the athleticism and youthfulness, the Arrows have two solid arms which will put Ashland in any game.

Top Returning Players:

• Logan Brewer (pictured right), SR, P/1B, 6’5” 215, R/R, Ohio Dominican University Commit, solid #1 pitcher at top of rotation, hit over .300 last year
• Hunter Krebs, JR, P, 6’0” 190, R/L, solid #2 pitcher behind Brewer, will definitely get to pitch after graduation, clocked at 83 mph this past summer
• Ryan Gray, SR, OF, 5’11” 170, L/R, fastest guy on team, hit over .300 last year
• A.J. Beer, SR, OF, 5’11” 190, R/R, solid year hitting last year while playing left field
• Keaton Morehead, SR, OF, 5’10” 170, R/R, played a solid center field last year while hitting just below .300

Top Underclassmen:

• Tyler Croskey (pictured right), RHP/1B, 6’2” 215, R/R, big kid who swings the bat well and can also pitch
• Brycen Light, RHP/INF, 5’11” 180, R/R, swings the bat and throws well, has a lot of potential, can play either of the two middle infield spots
• Brennan Hunt, 2B/P, 5’8” 140, R/R, has great hands as a middle infielder, very fundamental, understands game well, needs to get stronger and mature physically
