2019 Spring Team Preview: Fairbanks Panthers

Team Name: Fairbanks Panthers
Head Coach: Josh Rine
Division: III
2018 Record: 19-8

Returning Starters/Pitchers: 5/3

2019 Team Strengths:

  • Loyalty
  • Unselfishness
  • Commitment

Coach Outlook: "The Ohio Heritage Conference will be very competitive and wide open as it was last season. Every team on our side of the conference has excellent pitching. The Central District is also very deep in D3 with a lot of quality arms. We will need to play well in all phases of the game in order to earn conference and district tournament wins."

PBR Outlook: The Fairbank Panthers and head coach Josh Rine have a talented squad in 2019 and look to take the next step, coming off a 19-8 season in 2018.
