CENTRAL BUCKS SOUTH BASEBALL PREVIEW

Coach:  Brian Klumpp, 1st Season

Assistant coaches: Steve Carr, Ed Zakarewicz, Nick Bucciarelli

Last year’s record:  6-8 SOL, 10-9 overall

Notable losses:  Mike Annastasia / NJIT – Zach Dennis / Gwynedd Mercy – David Drea / Ursinus – Mike Kuypers / Mount St Mary – Alex Happ

Key returners:  Kyle Rossi SR/SS – Dan Klepchick JR/P – Dan McCartin SR/P & 1B – Will Moller SR/ 2b & 3b – Tyler Rossi SR / CF – Tommy Dugan JR/1b- Eric Gross JR / C – Mike Goldsworthy SR/OF

Strengths:  Pitching and fielding should be a strength for us this season.

Question marks:  Being able to hit one through nine consistently, and if some of the new additions can step up and make an immediate impact.

Outlook:  “We have high expectations this season to compete in the SOL, Districts and State level. We have a good mix of senior leadership and young guys who are hungry to make an impact. Pitching should be strong behind D-1 recruit Dan Klepchick (St. Joes, Monmouth, La Salle) and West Chester Commit – Dan McCartin. The defense and batting lineup will be led by senior captain, Kyle Rossi, who has D-1 talent but will not be playing college baseball. We are expecting big contributions in the lineup from juniors Tyler Watson, Tommy Dugan, and Andrew Dietz. We are hoping our team first approach can put this team over the top.”
