Michigan Director of Scouting
Stoney Creek High School, coached by Clint Rodger, had a good year in 2012. They finished their campaign 22-14 overall and 10-5 in a tough Oakland Activities Association (OAA) Red conference. Lake Orion eventually won the OAA-Red title.
They will have six returning players, all of which will log innings on the mound. They are led by Kyle Schweiger, a Grand Rapids Community College commit, who hit .414 in 2012.
They also return sophomore RHP/IF/OF Eric Gilgenbach. Gilgenbach started every game as a freshman in 2012 and hit .419 with five home runs.
Other top returners include Justin Allor (2014) and Joe Cox (2014). Allor, a 6-foot-1, 185-pound infielder has already received interest from several Division I schools. Cox (pictured above) is also an infielder in the Class of 2014, and he has tremendous offensive capabilities.
Other Players to Watch
+ OF Jake Kruk- Kruk is a 6-foot, 160-pound senior captain for Stoney Creek who will hit in the lead off spot.
+ SS/RHP Noah Beck- Beck is a 5-foot-10, 145-pound junior who started at short in 2012.
