TOP PLAYERS (Coach’s Comments)

Johnny Eblin 2015, P, R/R, 6'3"/160, Kentucky Wesleyan College.  Johnny is lengthy right handed pitcher that sits in the low 80's on the gun that has command of 3 pitches.  He is a competitor on the mound and will give you a chance to win every game out.  Last year he threw 34 innings with a 2.27 ERA with 39 strikeouts.  Johnny was named to the all district team last year.

Cameron Edwards, 2015, P/OF, L/L, 6'1"/175, Spalding University. Cameron is a left handed pitcher that has shown above average command on all of his pitches.  He sits low 80's and will throw all 3 pitches in any counts.  Last year he had a wrist injury in the beginning of the year and struggled with the bat but was still able to throw 26 innings and compile a 2.62 ERA.

Dawson Hogan, 2016, 3B ,5'11"/165, Not Committed. Dawson turned into our everyday third baseman as a sophomore.  He has very quick hands and can turn the ball around.  Last year as a sophomore he hit in the middle of our lineup and hit .330 in 76 Ab's.

Robert Metz, 2015, C, 5'10"/205, Shawnee State. Robert is a 4 year starter as a catcher.  Robert is a strong-wide based catcher that defensively gets the job done.  His offensive numbers have not been impressive but he has shown serious potential. (Profile and Video on PBR site)

Gabe Kremer, 2015, OF, 6'1"/195, Not Committed. Gabe started out slow last year but quickly became one of the leaders on and off the field.  Gabe showed some power last year belting 2 homeruns, while batting .305.

TOP UNDERCLASSMEN  

Matt Reynolds, 2017, C Matt is a switch hitting catcher that could play his way into the lineup this year and make a huge impact.  He is a very smart catcher that works very hard behind the plate and works with his pitchers very well. (Profile and Video on PBR site)

Colton Hartig, 2017, SS Colton is a shortstop that has worked very hard this offseason and has showed significiant range in the middle.  He was the leader of the JV team as a freshman and could land into an everyday role this year pending play of all around him.

Notable Losses

Joey Dawn, P, All District, University of Northwest Ohio

According to the Coach

The experience we return at the varsity level is invaluable.  At any time last year we would start 7-8 juniors and 1 sophomore and they grew as a team. We lost one pitcher from the rotation and have a strong group of guys returning.  We also have a group of young guys that could play on a regular basis.  Sophomore Colton Hartig has been looking very good in the middle infield and sophomore Matt Reynolds has looked strong behind the plate.  They are a group of competitors that absolutely hate to lose and are working hard to avenge our struggles of last year.  It should be an exciting year!
