TOP PLAYERS

Gage Lau, SS, 2015 
Taylor Reedstrom, LHP/1B,2014 

UP AND COMERS

Mark Meyer, RHP, 2016

OUTLOOK:  

Returning eight starters, the Tuslaw Mustangs will be a strong candidate to make a push for the PAC championship.  The Mustangs lineup will be led by Seniors Lance Priest, and Ben Wake.  Priest was able to manufacture 28 RBI's, while hitting .419 last season.  Wake offers plus speed, and batted .366 in 2013.  For the rotation, Tuslaw will rely on three key arms; RHP Alex Reed, RHP Mark Meyer, and LHP Taylor Reedstrom. The youngest, Mark Meyer was 5-0 with a 3.08 ERA as a freshman and is one the top 2016 talents in Ohio. Tuslaw does not have a lack of talent, and should sit near the top of the PAC at seasons end.
