By Chris Kemlo
PBR Ontario Director of Scouting

From now until the start of the 2015 season, Prep Baseball Report Ontario will bring you in-depth team previews throughout the entire state. If your coach has not filled out the survey please have him do so through this link.

Along with the team previews, the 2015 Team Rankings will be releasing sometime late February and we hope to bring a Q&A session to discuss the rankings.

Also, we will be releasing the preseason All Ontario Teams sometime in early March.

  • Lucas Ravilli - RHP
  • Blake Balanoff - 1B/LHP
  • Scott Zhu - RHP
  • Brett Morut - 3B/RHP
  • Ryan Barton - SS

General Notes:

Skipper Nick Carnovale and his staff are looking to reap the rewards of all the hard work that the 18u Athletics have put in over the winter months and off-season. Some might consider the A’s and underdog, but with four players already committed to post secondary schools, Carnovale hopes their leadership and poise will transition over onto the ball field.

The 18u Athletics look to be right in the thick of things this summer in the Fergie Jenkins League, and come playoff and championship time, they will look to their pitching staff and defence to keep the W’s coming in.
