MAB ONLINE MAGAZINE

Back to where it all started for MAB Monthly, the high

school baseball preview. Several years ago, we decided to

start an annual baseball preview. A few months later, we de-

cided on a monthly magazine, and the baseball preview is one

of the 12 issues we publish a year. We will also bring you our

football and basketball previews this year as we did last.

This year, we do bring a bit of a different format. In-

stead of simply putting rosters in this issue, we wrote pre-

views, just as we did for football and basketball. We did add

college rosters this year for local teams and for Indiana’s divi-

sion 1 schools. This, of course, is a precursor to our broad-

casts of high school baseball this season, We will bring you

most of the games of the RailCats High School Baseball Chal-

lenge, and a full slate of baseball and softball games as well.

Don’t forget that this spring and summer will have cov-

erage of the NFL Draft later this month and the NBA Draft in

June.

As always thanks to you for reading, and thanks to all of

our sponsors for helping to make it possible. Without either of

you, we would not even exist. Thanks again, and we hope you

enjoy this issue!

RailCats High School

Baseball Challenge

By MAB Monthly Staff

Since the team was founded, the

Gary SouthShore RailCats have made a

strong commitment to the City of Gary

and to the community at large. Part of

that commitment has been shown in the

form of the RailCats

High School Baseball

Challenge. The Chal-

lenge has had some

changes over the years

and this year’s version is

no exception.

This year’s Challenge will be pre-

sented in a condensed, 12 game format

featuring some classic matchups, con-

ference rivalries and non-conference

matchups.

The Porter County Conference

kicks things off with Kouts taking on

LaCrosse on Saturday the 7th. The

Challenge continues with a classic

RailCats Challenge matchup on Friday

the 13th as Illinois rivals T.F. North

will play T.F. South. The nightcap will

pit North Judson and Knox.

The following day brings a triple

header, starting again with PCC action

as the defending 2A

runner-up Hanover Cen-

tral Wildcats play South

Central. The day contin-

ues with two non-

conference matchups as

Kankakee Valley plays

Edison and Hammond Academy will

take on Calumet.

The following Friday, the 20th

will start off with River Forest and East

Chicago Central in non-conference ac-

tion. Lowell and Hobart will play in the

night cap in a Northwest Crossroads

Conference battle. The second triple

header of the challenge comes on Sat-

urday, April 21st and features the three

Gary public schools. West Side will

play Victory Christian to start things

off. Griffith and Chesterton will square

off in the middle game and Lew Wal-

lace will take on Roosevelt as the day

wraps up.

The final game of the Challenge

will be an interstate battle featuring

Chicago Christian and Marquette. All

games, of course are subject to change

if the weather plays havoc on the

schedule as it has in the past.

The matchups promise to bring

some exciting baseball in one of the

best minor league ballparks in the Mid-

west. The RailCats will continue the

tradition community service and pro-

moting high school baseball in the re-

gion.

Mid America Broadcasting will

bring you most of the games of the

Challenge live. All of the games that

we cover will also be available on our

archive for the players and fans who

would like to relive the all of the ac-

tion. Check out the schedule on page

Duneland Conference Preview By Brandon Vickery, Pow Wow Radio

When it comes to evaluating the baseball talent

level in the Duneland Athletic Conference, the Indi-

ana High School Baseball Coaches’ Association pre-

season poll says it all. Four of the top 16 teams in

4A in the state of Indiana are members of the DAC.

Lake Central enters the season as the conference fa-

vorite and number one team in the state, following

by Crown Point (eighth), Chesterton (thirteenth), La-

Porte (fifteenth) and Portage (sixteenth).

Chesterton Trojans

The Chesterton Trojans

could be poised for a breakout

season behind pitching ace Jake

Post. Post will be among the

top hurlers in Northwest Indi-

ana this year. The Trojans fin-

ished last season 16-10 after falling to Crown

Point 3-0 in the sectional semifinals. After

finishing in the middle of the pack Chester-

ton has hopes of cracking into the top three

this year. The team has done a 180 degree

turnaround since going 4-19 just two years

ago. Post, who went 6-3 with a 2.66 ERA,

verbally committed to pitch for Ohio State in

October; selecting the Buckeyes over other

Division I schools like Michigan State and

Cincinnati. Bobby Humphreys will join Post

in the rotation, while Spencer Sutton and K.J.

Zelenika return to the lineup. Chesterton got

the job done against schools that it was ex-

pected to beat a year ago, but

the Trojans went a combined 1-

8 against Lake Central, Crown

Point, LaPorte and Portage.

That stat will have to improve if

the Trojans want a shot at the

top spot in the DAC.

Page 11 MAB MONTHLY

Crown Point Bulldogs

Everything started

clicking for Crown Point

late in the season as the

Bulldogs deep postseason

run resulted in a Regional

championship. The team

eventually lost 9-2 to Fort

Wayne Carroll in the South Bend Riley

Semistate to see its run come to an end. The

Bulldogs had recorded postseason victories

over LaPorte (3-1), Chesterton (3-0), Portage

(4-1), Penn (2-1) and Elkhart Central (4-2).

Power bat Jose Andrade and number one

pitcher Nick Nauracy are both gone, but Joe

Hopman, Jake Lineman, Zack Plesac and

Ronnie Plesac all return. Head coach Steve

Strayer always seems to find a way to win,

posting a 442-161 mark in 20 seasons, ten at

Crown Point.

Lake Central Indians

Lake Central is the odds

on favorite to win the Dune-

land Athletic Conference, en-

tering the season atop the

state’s preseason poll. Out-

field Chase Fieldhouse, who

hit .453 with ten home runs and 39 RBIs

last season, is back for his senior year.

Jimmy McNamara will anchor the rotation

once again, coming off a 7-1 season during

which he posted a microscopic 0.79 ERA.

Taylor Lehnert, who will join his teammate

McNamara playing Division I baseball at

Central Michigan next year, is set as the

team’s number two starter. Lehnert went 4-

2 with a 2.85 ERA as a junior before im-

proving his stuff during the travel ball sea-

son playing for the Indiana Bulls. The In-

dians were Sectional 1 champions before

losing 8-3 in the opener of the LaPorte Re-

gional against Elkhart Central. LC is hop-

ing to continue what has been a banner year

for boys sports in St. John.

Page 12 MAB MONTHLY

LaPorte Slicers

Twenty LaPorte wins was

only good enough for third place

in the DAC last season. LaPorte

lost its stranglehold on the top

spot in the conference. The Sli-

cers were hit hard by graduation and will have

to depend on several young players in order to

return to the top of the conference. Starting

pitcher Connor Podkul graduated after going 8-3

with a 1.33 ERA. Catcher Kyle Upp, who

hit .434 and drove in 24 runs, is gone. Shortstop

Cody Dykema, who hit .330, graduated as well.

The roster has talent, including designated hitter

David Eldrige who hit .352 last year, but the Sli-

cers lack the experience of the other DAC pow-

erhouses.

Merrillville Pirates

Merrillville’s baseball

program is in the difficult posi-

tion of attempting to turn a team

around while competing in the

DAC. The Pirates went 8-21

last season, losing 6-1 to Port-

age in the first round of the sectional. The Mer-

59 Indiana Avenue, Valparaiso Just off the Courthouse Square

Phone 219-464-7102 or 219-462-0404

rillville season included some bright spots,

like conference wins over Valparaiso and La-

Porte and close losses to team like Munster,

Portage, Chesterton Michigan City, Crown

Point and Valpo. The team’s best pitcher,

Nick Feliciano, has graduated, so Joe Fe-

liciano (3-4, 4.15 ERA) will get the chance

to step in as the staff ace. Aaron Dye will

highlight the lineup after hitting .318 in

2011.

Michigan City Wolves

Michigan City’s sea-

son wrapped up with a 9-2

loss to Chesterton in the

first round of last year’s

sectional. The Wolves only

two conference wins of the year both came

against Merrillville. Head coach David Ortiz

is attempting to get the program turned

around, but this year the roster will be inex-

perienced. Senior catcher Lane Van Sickle

hit .308 a year ago, while junior pitcher/ third

baseman Andrew Ray posted a .333 average.

Portage Indians

Portage has not captured

a sectional championship since

1994, a drought that the current

players hope comes to an end

this season. The Indians have

reached the sectional final two

straight years, but saw their season end both

times, falling 4-1 to Crown Point in 2011.

Right handed pitcher Cody Jackson is a big

loss, as is power bat Tony Cheky, who is now

roaming the outfield at Michigan State.

However, Western Illinois bound senior

Gabe Avevedo is the centerpiece of a talented

lineup. Acevedo enjoyed a breakout junior

season during which he hit .455 with four

homers and 47 runs batted in. Kris Spring-

man will take over as the team’s ace

pitcher, with Travis Marsh, David Jercha

and Chris Bruno all expected to see time on

the hill. DH/catcher Zach Thorn and out-

fielder Andrew Brown will also be impor-

tant members of the Indians lineup.

Valparaiso Vikings

The graduation loss of

Jerrick Suiter, who is now at

TCU, will hurt Dave Coyle’s

squad. Outfielders John Ole-

jniczak and Greg Thome are

expected to take over more

prominent roles in the lineup.

Life without Suiter could be a grind for the

Vikes, who fell 15-7 in the sectional semifi-

nal against Portage to conclude the year

with a 13-11 mark. Valpo will likely finish

in the middle of the pack and hover around

the .500 mark again this year.

Greater Southshore Conference

Preview By Rich Sapper, MAB Monthly Staff Writer

Bishop Noll Warriors

It seems like the Warriors

have been one of the top teams in

the GSSC and are almost always

considered contenders for a sec-

tional title. Last year’s edition of

the Warriors earned a share of the conference

title. They were not, however, able to reach

the goal of a sectional championship as they

ran into eventual 2A runner up Hanover Cen-

tral in the sectional semi-final.

The good news for Head Coach Paul

Wirtz, the cupboard is defiantly not bare.

While the Warriors lose P Alec Rodriguez,

1B A.J. Cardenas, and P Eric Rodriguez to

graduation, the remainder of the team returns

from last year’s squad. This includes senior

shortstop Kody Alayon who hits for average

(.447 in his junior campaign), drives in runs,

and steals bases for the Warriors. His double

on the roster this season, leaving Josh

Dronen as the lone returner with much ex-

perience on the mound. Look for young

pitchers to make a difference, including

Kody Lemly, who may be one of the best

freshman pitching prospects in the area.

Marquette Blazers

Marquette ended last

season by losing in a close

contest against Triton in the

sectional last season and will

start the season with a sched-

ule that includes New Prairie, LaCrosse,

South Central and Frontier.

North Newton Spartans

New Spartans head

coach Mike Carden takes over

the head coaching positions at

his alma mater after spending

the last couple of seasons as

the JV coach at the school. The

former 1B/DH brings a wealth of experience

Page 17 MAB MONTHLY

play partner, Junior Jon Frankovich returns at

2nd base as well. Cody Moskovsky returns

with his bat and behind the dish as do out-

fielders Danny Osebuera and Larry Criser.

Look for Danny Pobereyko to be a solid con-

tributor in both the infield and on the mound.

Josh Galgan, also the quarterback on the

football team will be a leader in the pitching

staff as well.

Calumet Warriors

Calumet was hard hit by

graduation at the end of last

season, losing 6 players off of

their roster. The Warriors, who

fell to Knox in the opening

round of the sectional last

year, will have some experience this year on

the mound, something that they lacked last

season. In the previous campaign, head

coach Roger Abzill used a 5 man rotation

while allowing his pitchers to develop.

Among the returnees on the hill for the War-

riors is K.C. Waleski, who pitched very well

at the US SteelYard last year, and Junior

Marcus Jackson.

Sophomore Danny Urbasewski leads a

lineup that also returns Jesse Rivera, Colton

Meeks, and Jose Rodriguez.

Edison Eagles

Edison fell in the opening

round of the sectional to confer-

ence rival Wheeler last season

and will replace several key

components this year as well.

While most of Tony Hicks’ lineup returns

for the Eagles, pitching will be lacking in

experience. Staff Ace Brian Creech is not

to a squad that is looking to return to it’s

glory days.

The lineup will be anchored by the

middle infield combination of Chad Schultz

and Brady Hallier. Carden will also be rely-

ing on a young pitching staff after losing

Mike Montemayer and Wes Pemberto.

River Forest Ingots

This year’s Ingots have

nearly everyone back to com-

pete this season only losing 4

year starter C Tyler Hanson (St.

Joe) to graduation. River Forest

will be led by two of the area's bests pitchers

in Geno Flores, Christopher Lauderback.

They will be a part of the rotation that will

also feature Bryan Avalos. Last year’s top

hitter Jason Temple returns along with Dex-

ter Nalls.

Both Temple and Nalls will be ex-

pected to carry a big part of the load at the

Page 18 MAB MONTHLY

plate. Opposing catchers will have fits with

Temple who was also perfect on steal at-

tempts last season. JJ Pennington also returns

in the outfield. Look for O'Shea Owens to

make a serious contribution to Head Coach

Mark Zimmerle’s squad, giving the Ingots a

great foundation to build on.

Wheeler Bearcats

Wheeler is a perennial con-

tender for a conference cham-

pionship, and despite losing

several key players, this year

should be no exception. Head

Coach Josh Long will be without the services

of Casey Nader, one of his top pitchers from

last year, all-around athlete Sam O’Shea who

was outstanding on the mound and with his

bat, and Josh Holmes.

Despite that, the Bearcats will return

one of the most seasoned lineups in the re-

gion led by the right side of the infield in 1B

Nick Naspinski and 2B David Bolla who will

Page 19 MAB MONTHLY

likely continue to lead off. Matt Ittersagen

will anchor the rotation for Wheeler.

Whiting Oilers

Chicago State University was

able to take Elliot Bajda, arguably

one of the best players in Whiting

history. Despite that the Whiting

offense should have little trouble

with getting on base with the return

of 3B Gio Cruz, P/1B Coty Sparks, IF/P Matt

Dvorscak, IF Justin Jendreas, IF/P Matt Bu-

latovich and P/IF Mike Casillas.

The pitching staff for head coach Kev-

ing Lenz will be a strength as well with

Sparks, Dvorscak, Casillas, and Matt Lowe

throwing in Oil City Stadium making the

Oilers a legitimate contender to win the

GSSC and possibly a sectional this year.

Whiting’s Oil City Stadium

Clark Pioneers

Clark has been a consis-

tently high performing team

for the past several years and

this year should be no differ-

ent. The Pioneers feature sev-

eral experienced players who

have not only excelled in baseball, but other

sports for the Roberstdale school as well. En-

rique Zamora is one such athlete that will be

a solid pitcher when not manning the hot cor-

ner. The double play combination of SS

Chris Miller and 2B Gerand Morgan. Argenis

Reyes returns at first to complete the all sen-

ior infield for a team that was a sectional

champion last season.. Each player men-

tioned will also log some time on the hill

Gavit Gladiators

Gavit is going to be very

young this year after graduat-

ing most of last year’s squad

including Aveeno Nasiloski

who is playing at Chicago State

this season. Look for James Thompson to do

a little bit of everything from playing multi-

ple positions in the field to hitting from both

sides of the plate. Mookie Davis will pitch

and play short for Gavit.

Great Lakes, Northwestern

Conference, Bowman and East

Chicago Central Preview by Rich Sapper, MAB Monthly Staff Writer

Hammond Wildcats

Hammond High has

struggled in baseball in recent

years, but has been developing

at a rapid pace. A very young

Wildcats team will be lead by

senior cathcher Eli Harris, who

has proven a capable defensive catcher who

handles pitchers well and who hits

above .300 consistently. The only other sen-

ior on the team is 3B Anthony Davilia.

Morton Governors

Morton, like Clark, has

quite a bit of experience re-

turning. Even better news for

the Governors is that they re-

turn their senior 3B Chris

McCormack, their top returner

hitter, who at .460 last season was also one

of the top hitters in the area.

McCormack, also the starting

QB for the last three years for

the football team will head a

lineup that will be a mix of ex-

perienced players, as well as

some younger athletes who are

looking to crack the starting

lineup. Senior Angel Vanderdyz

was a strikeout machine last

year and is expected to anchor

the rotation.

for some time. Last year, in the Joe Gates

Classic during the RailCats High School

Baseball Challenges the game was called af-

ter 5 innings as cross-town rival West Side

got the better of the team.

Roosevelt Panthers

Roosevelt has been a

team that can be very streaky

with hitting and pitching. De-

fense has been an issue for the

past couple of years, but the Panthers always

seem to be able to score runs by making

good decisions on the base paths. DeQuais

Goodman, Jonathan Fawries, Jevon Oden,

and Raishawn Vaughn all contributed to the

Panthers success last season.

West Side Cougars

West Side has not had a

problem historically with hitting,

base running, or defense. Pitch-

ing, on the other hand, has often

been inconsistent and this season

should see that area continue to develop. The

good news is that Todd Porter, who pitched

effectively often last season and his battery-

mate Aaron Hall (who also pitches) return,

Hall splits time behind the dish and also at

3B with underclassman Anthony Pierce.

Bowman Eagles

Bowman has no shortage

of athletes walking the halls,

and even the casual observer

would summarize that baseball

should soon follow the basketball, track and

football teams as a premier program in the

area. Krystian Davenport will provide senior

leadership on the mound as well as in the

outfield. Jordan Gray and Maurice Phillips

also return in the outfield for the Eagles.

East Chicago Central Cardinals

The Cardinals return to the

diamond this season with only

three players that were on their

varsity roster last season . Gone

is last season’s RBI leader An-

thony Serna, top hitter and stolen base leader

Erik Romo, and their two best arms Dario

Ruiz and Gilberto Ibarra. Luckily, the players

returning including senior shortstop Adrian

Alvarez (.292 BA/,414 OBP), OF/C Carlos

Perez III (.403 OBP) and OF/P Luis Perez all

return. Jemerny Zakarias is expected to man

1B and Isidro Quiroga will get more playing

time this season in the outfield as well.

Boone Grove Wolves

Boone Grove has been a

juggernaught in the PCC and

throughout the region in Head

Coach Rollie Thill’s tenure at the

helm. Last season was a little more

down to earth as the Wolves finished with a

record just above .500, but it’s one that the

Wolves are sure to improve upon.

Leading the way for the Wolves are

2011 Boone Grove’s All-PCC Selections;

INF Dean Hill who hits above .400 and also

pitches and RF/C Cody Poynter, Boone

Page 28 MAB MONTHLY

Groves leading hitter in 2011, who also

wrestlers and plays football. SS/2B/P Jared

Thill, P/OF AJ Mosier, and P/1B/INF Zach

Wein lead a Senior class rounded out by OF

Stephan Hess.

Hanover Central Wildcats

Hanover Central won 22

games last season and had a

chance to win number 23 when

they played South Spencer in

the 2A State Championship last season. Un-

fortunately, for Hanover and head coach

Doug Nelson, the magic ended at Victory

Porter County Conference

Preview by Rich Sapper, MAB Monthly Staff Writer

Field and they had to settle for runner up

honors.

This year, the Wildcats will have to

make a run with out P Andy Wellwerts who

has taken his golden arm north to Chicago

State, P/2B Nick Sampognaro, DH Mike

Balich, and LF Nick Laing. Luckily for

Hanover, there is some talent left on the

mound with three pitchers left who logged

some innings last year led by Senior Tyler

Trepton who also plays 1B, Sophomore Tyler

Scott who gets playing time at 3B, and Dan

Strum, a Junior who hit .431 last season and

started the state championship games at 3B.

SS Nick Bollenbacher, who is also a

standout basketball player, C Zac Macie-

jewski, Strum, and Trepton all hit .390 or

better last season and look to anchor the

lineup this season.

The Wildcats will play a conference

game against South Central as part of a triple

header on April 14th at the RailCats High

School Baseball Challenge.

Hebron Hawks

Hebron fared well last

season in the first year at the

helm for Skipper John Steinhil-

ber. They played well throughout

the conference season, hit well,

improved their pitching, catcher Brad

Stooksbury earned the Hawks lone all-PCC

selection, and made it all the way to a sec-

tional championship.

Stooksbury will lead the team again be-

hind the plate and protecting Kyle Hernandez

in the lineup. Kyle Joyce also returns for the

Hawks.

Kouts Mustangs

Max Everaert had one of the

best freshman seasons in the area.

The pitcher and cleanup hitter for

Matt Weston’s Mustangs led the

team to a sectional championship

before falling in the Regional to Ft. Wayne

Blackhawk Christian. The freshman leads a

Page 30 MAB MONTHLY

Morgan Township Cherokees

The Cherokees were young

last season. The team ended un-

der .500, but lose only one player

(Kyle Clark) from last year’s

squad. This year, head coach Ja-

son Dorshorst will build his team around

2011 all-PCC selection Matt Polito who hit

above /350, but maybe more importantly,

only stuck out 4 times. Also returning to the

lineup are Adam Rettinger, and Mark Ehr-

stein to put together a group of hitters that

rivals many in the region.

Pitching-wise, expect for Joe Dough-

tery to log a majority of the mound time this

season leading a rotation that also includes

Rettinger.

South Central Satellites

Hanover Central was

not the only PCC team to

make a deep tournament

run last season. South Cen-

tral also was able to make it to the semi-state

before falling in a close contest against La-

fayette Central Catholic. Gone is pitcher Dan

solid two man rotation that includes Junior

Andrew Birky.

That is the good news. The bad news

is that Kouts lost 6 seniors to graduation

which cut into most of the lineup. That

leaves only Birky, Everaert, and last year’s

number nine hitter, senior 2B Dan Cullison

with experienced bats returning. Of course,

the good weather this spring has given Kouts

an opportunity for it’s more inexperienced

players some extra reps and the youth move-

ment hads been good to Kouts in recent

years. This year should be no difference.

LaCrosse Tigers

Brian McMahan’s Tigers

were led by all-PCC selection

P/1B Jimmy Rippe last season.

The Tigers struggled through

the PCC season, winning only one game, but

went 7 games in May, improving as the sea-

son went on before falling to Kouts in the

sectional.

In additional to Rippe, LaCrosse re-

turns Jared Dyjak who went 7-7 on the hill

and drove in 20 runs and Bryce Guse.

Do you need a sports

recruiting video?

Then find Region Sports-

desk on Facebook and ask

Snyder and his battery-mate Cody Young,

but several key players from last year’s team

are back including all-PCC performer Garrett

Walter.

Walter leads a senior class that in-

cludes Tyler Wherrett, Chance Rowe, Ben

Rosenbaum, and Blake Geskey. Austin

Hanna and Adam Clindaniel also are ex-

pected to contribute as the underclassmen get

more at bats this season.

Washington Township Senators

The Senators did just

about everything they could last

year. Good pitching, impressive

defense and solid hitting in the

first part of the order. Unfortunately, they

ran into a very good Kouts team in the sec-

tional that put an end to their season.

This year, Washington Township has

all but one player back, and skipper Randy

Roberts can rely once again on a solid rota-

tion anchored by Justin Landgrebe, Cody

Goodan, and Tyler Frye.

Bobby Ross, Ryan Geberin, and Greg

Fadell also return to the lineup in 2012.
