Beech Grove senior catcher John Barger hit .333 last year when playing in the infield. The team co-captain moves behind the plate this season.
​Beech Grove (9-14) –Traditional power team relies on small ball this year … best pitching staff in years with senior David Corbin and juniors Kole Aping and Zach Ringham … all throw in mid-80s, control will be key … same trio makes infield solid on defense … senior infielder John Barger hit .333 last year … coach Doug Walters has to replace entire outfield … could have four freshmen in varsity line-up … 3A Hornets will miss designated hitter Dallas Culpepper (ACL), fleet Lamont Richardson (track) and Dylan Allen (basketball emphasis) … Hornets play four of first five games on road … first home date at Sarah Bolton Park is Tuesday at 5 p.m. against Broad Ripple.

Coach’s comments: “I’ve never had pitchers who could throw with this kind of speed; we are seven to eight pitchers deep. We have a lot of line-drive hitters but no home run hitters. Our juniors are very baseball smart. Our outfield will be a work in progress. Our schedule keeps getting tougher in conference, and we’ve added North Central and Martinsville. We can make a run at going over .500; hopefully we will get over that hump and put together a good season.”
