Over the past two years, Columbus St. Francis DeSales put together a remarkable run by winning twostraight Division II state championships.

But now, players such as Zak Decamp (Lake Erie), Jack Miller (Ohio Wesleyan), Nick Eltzroth (Ohio Northern), TJ Alas (Eastern Kentucky) and Brennan Schlabig have all moved on and Coach Tom Neubert finds himself looking to fill several holes in his lineup and pitching rotation.

With a strong example put before them, the remaining Stallions look to maintain their dominance over the Central Catholic League and the Division II state playoffs. Despite several key losses, Coach Neubert has five returning starters and four returning pitchers.

Class of 2013

• OF/RHP Alex Perrine

Class of 2014

• RHP/1B Bryant Stopar – The 6-foot-2, 190-pound righty has a low to mid 80’s fastball.
• OF/LHP Connor Golden – The 6-foot-1 southpaw features a low 80’s fastball.
• OF Aaron Kienzle – The 5-foot-9, 175-pound left-handed throwing and hitting prospect will likely hold down the centerfield spot for the Stallions.

Class of 2015

• MIF/RHP Justin Borghese – The 6-foot, 170-pound prospect will likely find himself holding down one of the middle infield spots.
• LHP/1B Andrew Barber

Class of 2016

• RHP Zach Bowden – The 6-foot, 165-pound freshman will surely find himself into the Stallion rotation. He has long, loose arm action, a low 80’s fastball, and a projectable body to boot.
