2018 Spring Team Preview: Swanton Bulldogs
Team Name: Swanton Bulldogs
Head Coach: Tim McCarthy
Division: III
2017 Record: 16-11
Conference Record: Northwest Ohio Athletic League
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 5/7
Team Strengths:
- Pitching Depth
- Athleticism
- Speed
Coach Outlook: “We have returning experience at key positions. Overall depth is good but lack varsity experience. Defense will be the key.”
PBR Outlook: With five starters and seven pitchers returning for the Bulldogs and coach Tim McCarthy, look for Swanton to be competitive all year. Look for uncommitted C/OF, Michael Lawniczak, to pace the Bulldogs offensively.
