Dominic
Stottler

Athletic and agile player with a coordinated body. Short to the ball at the plate with a compact swing. Above-average bat-to-ball skills. Defensively, played a sound and fluent game at short. Consistent right-handed bat in the middle of the lineup.

RHP Dominic Stottler (United Township) was a fluid moving right-hander who showed some intrigue on the mound. With a fastball up to 71 mph on top of athletic, loose delivery, it would be no surprise to see Stottler gain a significant amount of velocity in the coming years. He also showed off a 10/4 breaking ball that projects well as he continues to progress and mature.
