OUTLOOK:  

When Coach Middleton goes to fill out his lineup card, he won't need to learn many new names and numbers this season. The Bears return seven everyday starters and eight pitchers from their 2013 staff. Four-year starter Will Marable leads the way as one of the top pitchers in the program as well as a steady presence in the middle of the infield and top of the order. Expect seniors Mathis Newman and Corbin Dennis to bolster the staff while junior southpaw Davis Robeson adds a different look. The Bears outfield may be its' strength with Robeson, Newman, and junior Alec Radcliff. Come tournament time, the Bears will be prepared after facing conference foes Thomas Worthington, Marysville, and Olentangy Liberty.
