Head Coach: Todd Butler
Division: III
2015 Record: 18-11

Returning Starters/Pitchers: 8/5

2016 Team Strengths:

  • Starting pitching
  • Defense

Coach Outlook: Beachwood is the defending CVC Metro champions and we have two seniors who should lead the conference in pitching and a sophomore who could very well lead the conference in hitting. We will be tough throughout our order but could use some depth in the form of some younger players stepping up to fulfill their roles.
