A closer look at the 2015 St. Joe’s Catholic Academy baseball team:
Coach — Troy Allen, first year.
Assistant coach — Greg Herman.
2015 roster — Phil Fenstermacker (senior), Justin Beck (junior), Trevor Bulick (junior), Michael Forstmeier (junior), Taehan Choi (sophomore), Joe Johnston (sophomore), Dillon Roettger (sophomore), Nick Shearer (sophomore), Rocky Chirieleison (freshman), Bryce Herman (freshman) and Anthony Mobley (freshman).
Strengths — Strong pitching. Starting lineup is deep with plenty of offensive weapons.
Concerns — According to Allen, the team has to remain injury-free. A team with a small roster cannot handle injuries.
Outlook — Allen is hoping for the best. “(It’s) difficult to judge with a new program and team, but we’re expecting to surprise a lot of teams and have a winning record at the end of the year,” he says.
Circle these dates — vs. Penns Valley at Shaner Sports Complex (Friday, April 24); vs. Bellwood-Antis at Shaner Sports Complex (Monday, April 27); vs. West Branch at Shaner Sports Complex (Friday, May 1).
