Frontier College Baseball opens the lid on the 2019 season Friday, February 8th at Mississippi Delta Community College. The Bobcats led by 2nd year head coach Brandon Benton said “I like this group, we have some talent but more importantly their good men and should make for an exciting season this year”.
Seven players return from the 2018 season. Leading the way for the returners on the mound are sophomore pitchers Trayce Abbot (McCloud, OK), Brice Stuteville (Rockport, IN), Gamliel Echeveria (Camuy,PR) and Nick Conner (South Bend, IN). The Bobcats return three position players from last season, Trey Woosley (Breckenridge, KY), Matthew Espinosa (Fort Worth, TX), and Matthew Lawson (Monticello, GA). Recruiting coordinator Jimmy Brenneman assisted by catching coach Zach Gerch brought in 30 new freshman for the 2019 season. The Bobcats had a good fall season with the returning leadership from the sophomores as well as the emergence of some new faces from the freshman group.
