2017 TEAM PREVIEW: Ben Davis Giants

Head Coach: David Bear
Class:
 4A
2016 Record: 12-14
Conference (2016 Record):  MIC 5-11
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 6/5

2017 Team Strengths:

  • Starting Pitching
  • Defense

Top Returning Players:

  • Zyon Avery, C, 2018 (right)
  • Isaiah Davis, RHP/SS, 2017
  • Logan Butrum, RHP/OF, 2017
  • Quinnton Brummet, RHP/INF, 2017
  • Jalen Prezzy, RHP/3B, 2017 

Outlook: Coach Bear leads the Giants into 2017 with his two top bats returning to the lineup in Zyon Avery (Ohio commit) and Isaiah Davis (Vincennes commit).  Davis should also be the ace of the Giants' experienced staff which has five of their top arms back from last season. The pitching staff will be key to the Giants success come conference play. Coach Bear will have to deal with a competitive schedule in the MIC including Top 25 teams Carmel and Center Grove.
