OUTLOOK:  

With the return of senior right-handed pitchers Perry Dellavalle (Seton Hill recruit) and Josh Armbruster (Notre Dame College recruit), Brecksville Broadview Heights has arguably the top 1-2 pitching combo in the Southwestern conference. Last season, Dellavalle was dominant going 6-0 while compiling a 1.70 ERA and 47 strikeouts over 37 innings of work. Meanwhile, Armbruster went 3-0 with four saves and a 2.62 ERA. Uncommitted outfielder Colton Carney looks to build on an outstanding junior campaign that saw him hit .370 with 40 RBI and two homeruns. Come tournament time, Brecksville will be battled tested after facing off against division foes Amherst, Avon Lake, Westlake, and more.
