2018 Spring Team Preview: Dublin Jerome Celtics

Team Name: Dublin Jerome Celtics
Head Coach: Chris Huesman
Division: I
2017 Record: 16-14
Conference Record: Ohio Capital Conference Cardinal, 5-7, 5th
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 8/2

Team Strengths:

  • Hitting
  • Defense
  • Chemistry

Coach Outlook: “Team has most of the components to make a run at the conference and district titles if we can get some of our younger arms to step up.”

PBR Outlook: Returning eight starters from a year ago has coach Huesman and the Celtics ready to roll in 2018. A solid mix of upper and lower classmen should have the Celtics competitive in every game while playing their best ball come tournament time.
