2018 Spring Team Preview: Chagrin Falls Tigers
Team Name: Chagrin Falls Tigers
Head Coach: Michael Sweeney
Division: II
2017 Record: 24-7
Conference Record: Chagrin Valley Conference, 12-2 - 1st Place
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 9/4
2018 Team Strengths:
- Leadership
- Speed
- Pitching
- Defense
- Hitting
Coach Outlook: We return almost our entire team from a team that went to the Regional Semi-Final last season. Many of those players played in the Regional Finals as sophomores the previous season. We definitely have a great mix of hitting, pitching, speed and defense.
PBR Outlook: A regional semifinal team that returns nine starters and four pitchers should prove be a team to watch in 2018. Coach Sweeney and the Tigers don't have too many things going against them in 2018, so look out for them come tournament time.
