2014 Team Preview: Lake Country Lutheran

March 7, 2014

By Steve Nielsen
Scouting Director - Wisconsin/Illinois

As we lead up to the start of Wisconsin's spring high school season we will be rolling out team previews from schools across the state.

Team: Lake Country Lutheran
2013 Record: 24-5
Conference: Midwest Classic
WIAA Division: 4
Head Coach: David Bahr
Playoff Run: State Runner-Up

Returning Starters: 7
Returning Pitchers: 6

TOP PLAYERS (Commitment)
BJ Sabol, LHP, 2014
Jesse Turner, RHP/OF, 2014 (McHenry County College)
Ben Wilkins, RHP/3B, 2015
Chris Kornowski, RHP/2B, 2014
Jacob Budnik, OF, 2015
CJ Teske, 1B, 2015
Murphy Shanon, C, 2014

UP AND COMERS
Jake Hall, INF, 2016
Hop Buran, INF, 2016

STAT RAT
LHP BJ Sabol went 8-0 on the mound last season in 48 innings pitched. He struck out 79 with an ERA of 1.60. Sabol also hit .505 with 49 RBI and 2 HR.

OUTLOOK
The Lightning will be returning nearly their entire squad from last year’s State Runner-Up team, making them an early preseason favorite in Division 4. Sabol, Turner and Wilkins should handle a bulk of the pitching while also making up a big portion of the lineup. Jake Hall and Hop Buran could be two newcomers to make an impact on this year’s state title run.
