Quakertown Baseball Preview

QUAKERTOWN BASEBALL PREVIEW

Coach: Jon Pallone 10th season

Assistant coaches: Bob Helm, Bob Gallo, Gerry Meyle, Jake Wooden, Justin Guidos, Juan Soto

Last year’s record: 11-8-1 Overall, 10-5-1 League, 0-1 District Playoffs

Notable losses: Ty Everitt (Washington College), Brandon Pierce (Chesapeake), Thomas Kozlusky (Eastern), Peyton Kochel, Ethan Beil, and Jake Dulis

Key returners: Cooper Natisin '24 OF/P, Danny Qualteria '24 SS, Vinny Pellegrini '23 P/1B, Daniel Schwalm '24 UTL/P, Chris Parrillo '23 P, Braxton Rahn '23 C, Gunnar Rahn '25 C, Matthew Marsten '24 INF/P, and Carl Weiss '24 3B/1B/P.

Others to watch: Tanner Clancy '24, and Nate Scheetz, '23 

Strengths/Question Marks: Quakertown's strength will be its pitching and defense. However, the offense graduated a lot of at-bats from last season. It will be interesting to see who settles into the lineup around the returning juniors and senior.” 

Outlook:  “The team goal is to go from a District Playoff team to a state playoff team. We have spent a lot of time in the offseason and preseason on improving our mental game. With a good chance of many close games this season, that may be the edge to win.”
