With 2020 now in the past, PBR Ohio is eagerly anticipating bringing the Buckeye state the best 2021 high school coverage that can be found anywhere. Starting in January, we began releasing team previews for squads across the state. Ahead, we will have Preseason All-State Teams as well as the Preseason State Rankings coming your way.

2021 Spring Team Preview: Avon Lake Shoremen

Team Name: Avon Lake Shoremen
Head Coach: Andrew Means
Division: I
2019 Record: 12-15
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 6/2

2021 Team Strengths:

  • Senior Leadership
  • Team Culture
  • Pitching
  • Defense
  • Hitting

Coach Outlook: "Early in the season, our pitching staff will allow our bats to settle in and get accustomed to hitting outdoors again. We will be very strong defensively, with guys that take pride in working hard on the defensive end. Eager to see how a handful of younger guys who have not played at the Varsity level compete when given significant opportunities. Lots of good, solid athletes in this group that have been putting in a lot of work and are hungry to compete. Go Shoremen!"
