2022 Spring Team Preview: Elyria Catholic Panthers

Team Name: Elyria Catholic Panthers
Head Coach: Bruce Lisicky
Division: III
2021 Record: 24-5
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 6/3

2022 Team Strengths:

  • Defense
  • Team speed all around
  • Hitting from the top through the middle of our batting order.

Coach Outlook: "We're returning a solid defensive team with experienced quality hitting 1 through 6 in our batting order. We have quality starting pitching returning as well at the top of our rotation. If we can get a couple of the younger kids to step up and fill the voids left from last year we should be a very tough team to face."
