2021 Spring Team Preview: Chagrin Falls Tigers

Team Name: Chagrin Falls Tigers
Head Coach: Michael Sweeney
Division: II
2019 Record: 22-8
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 7/4

2021 Team Strengths:

  • Starting Pitching
  • Defense
  • Middle of the Order

Coach Outlook: "There are a lot of unknowns about the upcoming season since there was no season in 2020 season. We have also been limited by our school with regards to working with our players in the off-season. We are lucky to have 4 starting players from the 2019 season back which obviously alleviates some unknowns. I think we have a chance to be very good with some top of the line starting pitching and, as always, sound, fundamental defense. Our hitting will be the key as to how good this team can be along with how quickly the players who have never played varsity baseball can progress."
