2021 Spring Team Preview: Moeller Crusaders

Team Name: Moeller Crusaders
Head Coach: Tim Held
Division: I
2019 Record: 19-10
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 2/3

2021 Team Strengths:

  • Work Ethic
  • Speed
  • Starting Pitching
  • Offense
  • Defense

Coach Outlook: "I think we will be solid in all aspects of the game. We have solid senior arms and also a number of junior and sophomore arms that will throw innings for us this season. They are pounding the strike zone and will make hitters work. The offense will be dynamic with a lot of team speed to go along with gap to gap power from some guys. Defensively, we will be able to cover a lot of ground with our speed."
