February 19, 2015

Prep Baseball Report Kansas

As we prepare for the upcoming 2015 high school season, we will be taking a preseason glimpse at programs from around the state.

Team: Anderson County
Nickname: Bulldogs
Class: 4A-II
League: Pioneer
Head Coach: Brad Huber
Years as Head Coach at School: 1st year
2014 Overall Record: 6-15
2014 League Record: 3-7
2014 Post-Season Finish: Lost in 1st round of regional

Returning Starters: 5
Pitchers with 15+ Innings Returning: 3

TOP RETURNERS
Brady Rockers, C, 2017
Mason Skiles, RHP/OF, 2016
Kyle Lamb, RHP/SS, 2017
Tyler Wolken, OF, 2015

X-FACTOR
Brady Rockers. The talented sophomore catcher was one of the few catchers in the state to start as a freshman.

NEWCOMER TO WATCH
 Landon Thacker, RHP/3B, 2015. The physical 6-foot, 260-pound right-handed pitcher/third baseman transfers in from Burlington HS for his senior year.

KEY PLAYER LOST
Tanner Lickteig, RHP/OF, 2014.

2015 OUTLOOK:  
The Bulldogs look to build on last year’s season under first year head coach Brad Huber. Overall Anderson County has a young team, but return five starters from their everyday line-up and three pitchers with significant innings. Two seniors look to be key factors in the Bulldogs success in OF Tyler Wolken and Burlington HS transfer RHP/3B Landon Thacker. Expectations are high for sophomore catcher Brady Rockers who started as a freshman for ACHS. Junior RHP/OF Mason Skiles will likely be the #1 or #2 in the starting rotation. Promising sophomore RHP/SS Kyle Lamb will be looked to at shortstop and see time on the mound.
