2019 Spring Team Preview: Swanton Bulldogs

Team Name: Swanton Bulldogs
Head Coach: Tim McCarthy
Division: II
2018 Record: 14-9
Conference Record: Northwest Ohio Athletic League, 4-3
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 9

2019 Team Strengths:

  • Experience
  • Pitching Depth

Coach Outlook: "We have a very experienced team with 10 seniors. Once again we will play a very tough non-league and NWOAL schedule. I believe that will have us battle tested as we make the jump to a very tough D2 district. If we can field it consistently and improve offensively as a whole then we have a great chance to go out and accomplish our goals for the 2019 season."
