NEW HOPE-SOLEBURY BASEBALL PREVIEW

Coach: Tony Vlahovic 13th yr

Assistant coaches: Len Lehman, Lou Orth

Last year’s record:  8-12 overall

Key returners: Mason Scall 12/OF, Kyle Campbell 12/OF, Josh Shiller 12/P,INF,  Brooks Saft 10/ C, Matt Jermyn 12/P,INF, Matt Spadavecchia 12/INF, Justin Lehman 12/OF/INF,  Saul Carmenini 11/P, INF

Others to watch:  Nate Wiseman 11/INF/P, Matt Rickert 11/ P, OF, John Whelan 9/P

Strengths/Question Marks:  Second season in the SOL with a lineup returning seven starters.  Our expectation is to be competitive in our division and rely on solid defense with multiple pitchers keeping us in ball games.

Outlook:  “Our team goal is to make it back to Districts and compete.  Josh Shiller (Susquehanna commit) will lead the mound corps and our backstop Brooks Saft is solid after starting as a freshman.  Kyle Campbell is expected to secure our outfield play with Saul Carmenini, Matt Jermyn and Matt Spadavecchia anchoring our infield. Looking forward to a solid season playing in the competitive SOL.”
