2023 Spring Team Preview: Toledo Whitmer Panthers
Team Name: Toledo Whitmer Panthers
Head Coach: Brad Densmore
Division: I
2022 Record: 17-9
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 5/4
Coach Outlook: "We return 5 starting position players and 3 starting Pitchers, however we have to replace starters in key spots as well as our 2 pitchers with the lowest ERA from last year. How well and how quickly we are able to develop in these positions as well as develop pitching depth will have a big impact on our seasons success. We will have to work hard, form team chemistry quickly and handle the adversity of a tough league and non league schedule to be successful this season."
