As we prepare for our 2014 high school preseason coverage, we are going to take a quick glance at teams from across the state.

Team: Rittman HS
Class: DIV
League: Wayne County Athletic League
Head Coach: Joe Staley
2013 Overall Record: 14-14
2013 Conference Record: 6-8
Returning Starters: 6
Returning Pitchers: 2

TOP PLAYERS

Ty Ramsier, C, 2015
Taylor Thomas, 1B, 2015
Zack Phillips, 2B, 2015

UP AND COMERS

Manny Garza, SS/P, 2017
Tyler Gault, 3B/P, 2016
Caleb Keck, P, 2016 

OUTLOOK:  

The Indians return 6 young starters, and will look to improve on last seasons 14-14 finish.  Many of the Rittman player's have played at the Varsity level since they were Freshman, so many will be expected to perform right away.  The Indians will be rely on two Juniors Ty Ramsier, and Taylor Thomas to keep the Indians competitive in the Wayne County Athletic League.  Both three year starters, Ramsier finished the last season hitting .375, and Thomas finished with a .400 BA.  Young 2017 shortstop prospect, Manny Garza will play an advanced role for the Indians this year, and will be worth keeping an eye on as he progresses.
