2021 Spring Team Preview: St. Xavier Bombers

Team Name: St. Xavier Bombers
Head Coach: Bob Sherlock
Division: I
2019 Record: 13-12
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 5/3

2021 Team Strengths:

  • Good mix of young and experienced talent
  • Pitching
  • Overall team defense
  • Team speed
  • Reliable Relief

Coach Outlook: "Our starting pitching is projected to be very good and on the young side this year, but will be complemented by solid overall team defense. The bullpen projects to be more than reliable. Offensively, if our junior class shows the ability to perform up to their potential early, then 2021 could be another very good year for us."
