2019 Spring Team Preview: Grandview Heights Bobcats

Team Name: Grandview Heights Bobcats
Head Coach: Tyler Fitzgerald
Division: III
2018 Record: 14-14
Conference Record: MSL League Ohio, 5-5 (3rd)
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 7/4

2019 Team Strengths:

  • Experience
  • Versatility
  • Grit

Coach Outlook: "London, last year's champion, left our conference leaving the race for the top spot wide open. Competition in our league has been very balance and we expected it to be tightly contested again this season. Columbus Academy made the furthest run in the State Tournament (Regional Finals), so we expect them to be the favorite going into the season."

PBR Outlook: The Grandview Heights Bobcats and coach Tyler Fitzgerald look to take the next step after a 14-14 season in 2018.
