TOP PLAYERS

Collin Gossard, SS/RHP, 2014 ... One of the top uncommitted players in the 2014 class. The 6-foot-3 righty sits mid 80s with the fastball.
Taren Sullivan, RHP, 2014 ... 6-foot-5 righty sits mid 80s. Would've been a top baseball prospect, however he is committed to University of Findlay for basketball.
Eric Jordan, LHP/1B, 2014 ... Sits upper 70s-low 80s with the fastball.
Eric Heffner, OF, 2014 ... Hit .357 last season.
Hunter Weis, LHP, 2014.
Jared Davis, OF, 2015.

YOUNG UP AND COMERS

Jared Davis, OF, 2015.
Camerton Jenkins, C, 2015.
Luke Niebel, OF, 2015.
Cam Clark, SS, 2016.
Andrew Renner, P/INF, 2016.

OUTLOOK:  

Coach Brian Jesko and the Lima Bath Wildcats make of move up to division II after being in division III in the past. The Wildcats boast a solid one-two punch in rightys Collin Gossard (unsigned senior) and Taren Sullivan. With either of those two on the mound, the Wildcats have an opportunity to beat anyone. The Wildcats are looking for a deep run in 2014. Lima Bath is coming off a 16-13 season and will be competing in the Western Buckeye League. The WBL is stacked once again with the likes of Defiance, Wapakoneta, Ottawa-Glandorf and Lima Shawnee among others.
