2022 Spring Team Preview: Canfield Cardinals

Team Name: Canfield Cardinals
Head Coach: Gary Knittle
Division: II
2021 Record: 24-1
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 6/9

2022 Team Strengths:

  • Leadership
  • Pitching
  • Offense

Coach Outlook: "We return a veteran team that the only loss was in the regional last year. The pitching staff is completely in tact from last year that sported a sub 1.00 ERA. Offensively we also return 6 starters with a lot of pop 1-9. Staying healthy will be the key to success."
