2021 Spring Team Preview: Cincinnati Christian Cougars

Team Name: Cincinnati Christian Cougars
Head Coach: Tony Witt
Division: IV
2019 Record: 18-6
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 5

2021 Team Strengths:

  • CCS Baseball has a very strong nucleus returning for this season. We are lead by a great group of Seniors and Juniors. Tim Carangi Senior and Trevor Allen Junior will give us some innings on the mound, and will play a role in the outfield. Alex Bertram will be play multiple positions and be a very important bat in the lineup, Bertram is coming off an injury and back to 100% this year. Senior Cody Anderson will play infield positions and give us great leadership. Junior Caden Glenn will play infield, Pitcher and catcher positions he has really worked hard in the offseason. Junior transfer Titan Selvie will step up and make an immediate impact in the field and lineup. Junior Zach Birch will be a Pitcher/ Infielder that has been a great addition to this team. Sophomores that will also get playing time will be Alex Buschmann will Pitch and play multiple positions, Nick Minacapelli transfer will also Pitch and play 1st base, also Alex Mullins will be able to help this team with speed and play multiple positions. The freshman class is very promising for us Timmy Nagel and TJ Selvie should push upper classman for starting jobs and Jackson Raby and Joe Howard have been a great addition to the class.

Coach Outlook: "CCS baseball has been to the Regional Final the past 2 years, we return a lot of guys that have been a part of those teams. As a new coaching staff we decided to increase the level of competition on our schedule. We also was moved to the Upper Division in the MVC so it will give us great league games to play. We also had some new guys transfer in and the freshman group is very talented. We are looking forward to a great season and just thankful to be back on the diamond."
