2017 TEAM PREVIEW: andrean 59ers

Head Coach: Dave Pishkur
Class: 4A
2016 Record: 26-6
Conference (2016 Record):  NCC - 11-1 - 1st
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 6/5

2017 Team Strengths:

• Pitching Depth
• Defense
• Offense 

Top Returning Players:

• Kevin McCune, Util/RHP, 2017
• Clay Thompson, LHP/OF, 2018 (right)
• Evan Hylek, C/OF, 2017
• Brad Leveque, 3B, 2017
• Adam Bednarek, 2B/RHP, 2017
• Sawyer Allen, LHP, 2017

Outlook:  Coach Pishkur has 6 bats and 5 arms returning to the 59ers in 2017.  Led by Kevin McCune (Purdue Northwest) on the mound, Andrean has several competitive arms that will provide depth in the NCC.  Clay Thompson, Brad Leveque, and Evan Hylek (Wabash Valley JC), should be a staple in the lineup this spring.  Sawyer Allen (University of Chicago) will be an impact arm as well for Andrean as they look to repeat as NCC champions.
