2023 Spring Team Preview: Chagrin Falls Tigers

Team Name: Chagrin Falls Tigers
Head Coach: Michael Sweeney
Division: III
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 4/3

Coach Outlook: "This year will be definitely a different year for us. We will have lots of new players and we will have a lot of positions we will have to figure out. To be honest, I couldn't tell you right now who is going to play and what our line up will look like. It may be quite a bit different from the first game to the last game. What I do know is that we have lots of tradition and our guys are used to winning games. We will also be in Division 3 this year. We have not been in Division 3 for about 10 years. It will be a challenge for us, but hopefully we continue to get better and better as the season goes on."
