A deep bullpen will also help this team succeed at a higher level in the facets of the game. With a schedule close to 30 games we will see new non-conference opponents and look to build our resume for the post season.



Manager Quote: "I've never been more excited to be a part of a team that has a chance to do something special. I have told my team that this is the most talented group of players since ive been here. We have depth at every position, we have guys that are versitile around the whole field, and we have one of the deepest pitching staffs we've ever had. We did something this fall that we haven't been able to do in a long time, our bats carried our pitching. Look for us to keep the bats hot and win some games. One last go around with these guys, we are going to do it right. Go Neers"

Mitch Conley (Freshman-Dover), Sam Fradin (Freshman-Deerfield), James Lazevnick (Sophomore-Westlake), Aidan Maxwell (Freshman-Maumee), Ryan Nebraska (Junior-Westlake) Biggest Rival: Ohio University, East Carolina University Best Player Nickname: Kerosene, Jick, the Situation 2017-2018 Season Outlook: The Bucks return 7 position starters including All-Region Award winners Connor Hogan (2x), DJ Komisarek (2x), Scott Baker (1x), Nick Lankard (1x), Tim McManus (1x), Kent Axcell (2x), and Blake Zeller (1x). DII Call-up Cody Kutler (NCBA 2nd Team All-American) will add speed and a great defensive glove in the outfield. Transfers Clayton Dubbs, Joe Dandino, Sam McClurg, Michael Platten, and Joey Roddy will add a ton of speed and power throughout the lineup. Newcomers Sam Fradin and Ryan Nebraska round out an incredibly deep and versatile position player group. The expectations are high with the new hitting additions to the lineup and the Bucks look to improve on last year's impressive .331/.431/.440 slash line. Kent Axcell (2x All-Region, NCBA 3rd Team All-American) will lead a talented pitching core with returners Dominic Pestello (7-4, 2 saves, 11.59 K/9), River Wicker (8-1, 2.85 ERA, 12.88 K/9), Ryan Kelly (1 save, 10K's in 5 innings), Nick Lankard (5-1, 1.41 WHIP, 9.28 K/9), Nick Jackson (3-2, 1.38 WHIP, 11.94 K/9) and Landon Slomovitz (1x All Region). Transfers Casey Johnson and Hunter Kuzak as well as new comers Mitch Conley, James Lazevnick, and Aiden Maxwell bolster the rotation and bullpen with power arms. The outlook is even better from last year's staff that ended with a 2.54 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 11.9 K/9. The coaching staff remains intact from last season with Head Coach Chad Lowe and Assistant Coach Stephen Coan returning for another year looking to build upon the last two years' success at the DI level. The Buckeyes 28 game Spring schedule includes conference match-ups with the 2017 MAC Region At-Large bid, Ohio University and 2015 NCBA DII National Champions, Eastern Kentucky highlighting a challenging 2018 campaign. The team will also play a tough non-conference schedule with games versus Penn State DI, University of Akron, 2017 NCBA DII National Champions, Slippery Rock, and Kent State in addition to the annual NCBA Spring Training Showcase trip in March. The program has thrived on pitching and defense the past two seasons. With 15 power arms and 7 returning position players, the Bucks will match-up well with any potential opponent. The graduation of seniors Jeremy Bank, Jack Birtcher, Aaron Gase, Albert Giebel, Brett Griffey, Tyler Harris, Ben Herlihy,



Isaac Klausing and Ian Segall will be a lot of experience and production to replace. However, the addition of 5 new pitchers, Kutler from DII, and 7 position players, the team has reloaded for another playoff run. Manager Quote: "We have come up just short in our playoff battles with ECU in the 2nd round the past 2 seasons. Those experiences have brought us closer together and made us understand what it means to be a championship caliber team every year. The program lost a talented group of 3 to 5 year players that had tremendous success during their careers. We continue to be blessed with the addition of an immense amount of talent and this year's group might be one of the deepest. Our current roster bolsters several young freshman, sophomores and transfers to go along with a group of Upperclassman that look to leave as the winningest in program history. Conference, Regional, and World Series championships are the goals for this year. I think this team is ready to take the next step and deliver on all three. -Coach Lowe
