Daylen made the JV team and may do some pinch running for the varsity I was imformed.

Now that the team has been picked, lets here some opinions.

IMVHO, need the pitching to come through. The speed on the base paths that worked at Freshmen and JV may not be as helpful as catchers and pitchers catch up. The hitting will be led by seniors Brutscher, Sweeney and Ferch.

LIne up may be Grayson, Sweeney, Spalding, and Scheler in the outfield, Brutscher at 1B, Nunnulley at 2b, Ferch at short and Golemboski or Schmeing at 3b, Herbstreit has gotten much better at catcher. That is a lot of questions for hitting. If you hit .400 at the JV level, that doesn't always translate in a successful varsity hitting season.

 

Starting pitching- Sweeney, Grayson, Septembre, Golemboski, Spauding,

The first four started games last year with Golemboski matching Heath's star pitcher pitch for pitch in a thriller last year.

 

First game - Tuesday night versus Butler.

JR

 

Settembre and Golemboski have not pitch due to arm problems (Zack has a rotator cuff issue and Joe has a elbow issue). This will be a real issue if these guys can not return to the pitching rotation. However, Clooney (not listed on the roster), Spauding and Loehert have pitch at the varsity level and should provide some needed support to the team. IMO I do not see how they can keep Clooney off the roster. His fastball is very good (upper 80's) with a number of other pitches. In addition, the pitching staff will get some additional support from others like Schmeing, Rizenberg, Remmers and Deuser.

 

X wins opener.
