OUTLOOK:
Head Coach Seth Paul and the Cowan Blackhawks expect to compete for a Regional title in 2014. The Blackhawks return six starters and 3 arms from last year's 15-11 team. Leading the way for Cowan is Junior SS/OF Luke Miller, the No. 15 ranked prospect in Indiana's class of 2015 rankings. Miller led the team in home runs, and batting average last season as sophomore. The 6-foot-4, 180 pound Miller finished the season hitting .534 with five home runs. Sophomore 2B Brady Harris returns after starting all 26 games last year as a freshman. Harris is a solid defender and had an OPS of .560 last spring. Senior OF Brady Cooper averaged an RBI per game in 2013 with 26 on the year. The 6-foot-2, 220 pound Cooper posted an OPS of .830 while hitting 5 2Bs and 2 HRs as Junior. Paul will look to incoming freshman Kasey Henderson for major contributions this season. The 5-foot-10, 175 pound 1B/LHP will start the season as the No. 2 on the mound and will serve as the Blackhawks lead off hitter.
