2024 Spring Team Preview: La Salle Lancers

Team Name: La Salle Lancers
Head Coach: Trey Aultman
Division: I
2023 Record: 13-14
2023 Tourney Finish: Sectional Finals loss to Loveland
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 7/3

Coach Outlook: "We are excited to showcase a large number of seniors returning that have provided great leadership to underclassmen ready to contribute. We have a hungry group that is ready to compete every day."

2024 Team Strengths:

  • Leadership- will probably be carrying ten seniors, many of which contributed on varsity last season.
  • Contact- we had an emphasis on reducing strikeouts this offseason. The guys really bought in and plan on putting pressure on opposing defenses.
  • Depth of arms- losing two starting arms that carried us the previous two seasons leaves a hole, but we have 8-9 arms that can get guys out that we can rotate in and out.

Top Returning Players:

  • Dylan Kaiser, RHP, 2024, Tiffin Commit, 23 strikeouts in 15 IP last season (Video Below)
  • Dylan Ruhe, C, 2024, Tiffin Commit, Last season hit .291 with 7 doubles
  • Jack Lonneman, SS, 2024 Tiffin Commit, Last season hit .305 with 9 doubles
  • Tyler Forest, INF/C, 2024, Bluffton Commit
  • Logan Walpole, RHP/1B, 2024, Heidelberg Commit
  • Xander Schneider, RHP, 2024, Mount Saint Joseph Commit, 1.05 ERA in limited action last season

Class of 2024 Prospects To Keep Eye On:

  • Kyle Reynolds, OF

Class of 2025 Prospects To Keep Eye On:

Class of 2026 Prospects To Keep Eye On:

  • Kellan Riesenbeck, INF/RHP, 2026
