2022 Spring Team Preview: Rootstown Rovers

Team Name: Rootstown Rovers
Head Coach: Keith Waesch
Division: III
2021 Record: 22-5
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 5/3

2022 Team Strengths:

  • Pitching
  • Defense

Coach Outlook: "The 2022 squad will be led by a returning middle infield and two starting pitchers. We will need to play small ball and manufacture runs and lean on starting pitching to get deep into games. We graduated the winningest class in Rootstown history, so there will be many open positions across the diamond."

Top Returning Players:

  • Mason Bartholomy LHP/OF, 2022 6-2/215, L/L 2-yr starter, 2021: 42IP, 4-1-1, 1.89 ERA, 76K, 9BB, .321 AVG (Video Below)
