2021 Spring Team Preview: Tallmadge Blue Devils

Team Name: Tallmadge Blue Devils
Head Coach: Kenny Linn
Division: II
2019 Record: 18-11
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 5

2021 Team Strengths:

  • Seniors and Captains have shown a Great commitment to the off season and have been solid leaders going into the season. We feel good about the depth of the pitching staff to run guys out there that will throw strikes and get people out. We have guys in the top and bottom of the order that can run. Defensively we have 9 good athletes on the field that should get the job done even when we use our bench.

Coach Outlook: "We have a solid athletic group of 9 Seniors and 5 Juniors and couple of Sophs competing every day among each other for the jobs and expect that will lead to being ready to compete for a deep tournament run."
