The John Carroll Baseball team is ranked #2 preseason by the Baltimore Sun!
Head coach: Darrion Siler (seventh year)
Last year’s record: 12-9-1
Top returning players: Matt Archibald, (RHP/INF); Will Weiman, (RHP/2B); Frank Adamski, (RHP/3B); Griffin Shirk, (LHP/UTIL); Ben Pierce, (LHP/1B)
Season outlook: “This year’s team will be an exciting team to watch, with key returning players and a mix of young players adding to the roster. Strengths should continue to be offense and strong starting pitchers, it will depend on how key starters on the mound perform, how well the defense plays and how well relievers can keep the Patriots in the game,” coach Siler said.
Baltimore Sun Players to Watch:
Frank Adamski, John Carroll, pitcher/third base, junior
First and foremost, Adamski plays the game hard with a sensational sophomore season showing all the ways he can make a positive impact. The Coastal Carolina commit batted .386 — .455 in the postseason — and had a 1.51 ERA in 27-plus innings on the mound. Expect more of the same this season to help put the Patriots in contention for an MIAA A title.
