2019 Spring Team Preview: Bowling Green Bobcats

Team Name: Bowling Green Bobcats
Head Coach: Jim Beaverson
Division: II
2018 Record: 18-10
Conference Record: Northern Lakes League, 10-4 (2nd)
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 7/5

2019 Team Strengths:

  • Game Experience
  • Quality Player Depth
  • Pitching Depth
  • Fundamentals

Coach Outlook: "Bobcat baseball looks to build upon a successful 2018 campaign that saw the team finish 2nd in the Northern Lakes League to Div I state runner-up Anthony Wayne. The coaching staff expects the game experiences gained by players from last year’s young squad will be beneficial in 2019. “The NLL is a tough league and a grind day in and day out. When you get knocked down, and you will, you have to get back up every time…and we know our players will."
