2018 Spring Team Preview: Toledo Whitmer Panthers

Team Name: Toledo Whitmer Panthers
Head Coach: Brad Densmore
Division: I
2017 Record: 8-16
Conference Record: TRAC, 5th
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 5/3

Team Strengths:

  • Defense
  • Speed
  • Hitting

Coach Outlook: “We were very young last year, and although we gained some experience, we will still be young in spots this year because we lost 2 starters and key contributors from last year’s team to career ending injuries sustained this fall in football. If our pitching develops we should be competitive.”

PBR Outlook: 8 wins in 2017 doesn't tell the story for Whitmer. The Panthers have a talented group of kids who got big time experience last year and head coach Brad Densmore looks for that to play a big roll in the success in 2018.
