OUTLOOK:  

With the graduation of Jason Johnson (Dayton recruit), Masashi Sakamoto (Akron recruit), Kyle Lento (Tiffin recruit), and a number of other seniors, Coach Huesman, and his assistant head coach Ronald Bookmyer, have many holes to fill in the Celtic's lineup and rotation. Senior southpaw Thomas Menker, senior RHP Tyler Bookmyer, and big junior RHP Clayton Colvin figure to headline the pitching rotation. Meanwhile, the lineup will likely feature a mixture of sophomores, juniors, and seniors as Coach Huesman looks to find the right blend in 2014. Keep an eye out for sophomore Zach Hazlett, a speedy outfielder that figures to be the key that starts the engine for the Jerome offense.
