2018 Spring Team Preview: Bowling Green Bobcats

Team Name: Bowling Green Bobcats
Head Coach: Jim Beaverson
Division: II
2017 Record: 19-5
Conference Record: Northern Lakes League, 12-2, 1^st
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 2/1

2018 Team Strengths:

Pitching
Defense
Baseball IQ
Commitment

Coach Outlook: "We are a very young team as we lost 10 seniors from last year's NLL Championship team, of which five are currently playing at the collegiate level. The coaching staff is very excited with the young talented players stepping up to answer the challenge of competing to defend the NLL title and be a force in the state playoffs. The Bobcats have 3 seniors (one is most likely out for the season because of shoulder surgery), 8 juniors, and 4 sophomores. All of which who should get significant innings and playing time.”

PBR Outlook: With a new head coach in 1st-year mentor Jim Beaverson, the Bowling Green Bobcats and community are excited about their future prospects. BG has been a talented team in the past who couldn't get over the top, but with Beaverson at the helm, the Bobcats look to do just that in 2018 and beyond.
