With.just.four.seniors.and.seven.returning.players,.the. Red.Knights.are.short.on.experience..How.the.newcomers. to.the.lineup.fare.will.determine.much.of.the.teams’.fate. . The.team’s.seven.returning.players.combined.to.bat. .349.last.season.and.speed.should.not.be.an.issue.with. the.likes.of.Dan.Labosky,.Sam.Lynch.and.Keaton.Studsrud. at.the.top.of.the.lineup. PITCHERS . The.BSM.pitching.staff.is.woefully.lacking.in.the.area. of.experience.as.just.three.returning.pitchers.saw.time.on. the.mound.last.season.for.a.combined.14.1.innings. . Leading.that.trio.is.junior.Mikey.McGill,.who.worked. 10.innings.in.five.relief.appearances.last.season..Although. walking.seven.and.allowing.eight.hits,.he.only.allowed.two. runs,.neither.of.which.was.earned. . Dan.Labosky.made.three.appearances,.which.covered. 2.1.innings..He.picked.up.a.save.and.fanned.three.batters. . John.Backes.made.one.relief.appearance.in.2012,. tossing.two.scoreless.innings. . With.Labosky.and.Backes,.the.only.seniors.on.the. staff,.scheduled.to.come.out.of.the.bullpen.this.season,.the. starting.staff.will.come.from.the.junior.class. . Besides.McGill,.three.other.players.who.saw.action. with.the.Chester.Bird.legion.team.will.vie.for.a.spot.on.the. starting.staff. . Michael.Kaminski.heads.that.list.and.working.14.innings.last.summer.for.The.Birds.in.three.appearances.. Jimmy.Cron.and.Marshall.Hoemke.also.started.games.for. Chester.Bird.and.Dunham.DeRemer.joins.the.group.of.juniors.who.are.expected.to.see.the.majority.of.the.innings. . “We.will.have.to.wait.and.see.who.will.emerge.to.take. those.spots,”.Hoemke.said..“For.our.staff.to.be.successful. this.year,.we.need.to.throw.strikes.more.than.ever. . “We.don’t.have.pitching.that.will.overpower.people.and. create.lots.of.strikeouts.. We.need.to.limit.baser. runners..Those.who. throw.strikes.consistently. will.see.the.most.innings.” . . CATCHERS The.catching.duties. are.expected.to.be.handled.mainly.by.a.pair.of.newcomers.in.Peter.Watkins.and.Chris.Landis. . . Both.saw.extensive. Mikey McGill did not allow an earned run in 10 innings of work out of the . bullpen last season. duty.between.B-squad,. Junior.Varsity.and.Junior.Legion.teams.last. season.and.will.have.to. make.the.jump.to.the. varsity.level.this.season. . “Both.saw.time. during.the.Florida.trip,”. Hoemke.said..“Unless. one.emerges,.they.will. continue.to.split.time.” . Grant.Besse.will.be. an.emergency.option. but,.after.two.seasons. sharing.time.at.the.position,.he.will.see.action.at.third.base.and.designated.hitter.. INFIELD . The.key.position.on. the.infield.is.shorstop. and,.following.on.the. heels.of.a.pair.of.all-conference.shortstops.is.Keaton.Studsrud,.who.took. over.the.starting.job.last. season.as.a.sophomore. . “He.should.provide. Keaton Studsrud earned honorable mention all-conference honors while taking over at shorstop as a sophomore. a.stabilizing.force,”.Hoemke.said..“His.quickness.and.arm. strength.will.allow.him.to.make.plays.that.will.get.us.out.of. trouble.” . In.addition.to.his.defensive.play,.Studsrud.is.also. expected.to.supply.offensive.punch..He.batted..300.as.a. sophomore.and.gained.a.great.deal.more.experience.during.the.Chester.Bird,.combining.the.two.seasons.to.tally. over.200.plate.appearances. . At.first.base,.McGill,.Cron.and.Backes.will.all.see.playing.time,.along.with.DeRemer,.pending.the.team’s.pitching. needs.and.who.proved.to.be.most.productive. . The.other.corner.infield.spot.will.see.Besse.and.Matt. Ambre.getting.the.majority.of.the.playing.time.while.Kaminski.will.also.see.time.there. . Besse.has.the.most.experience.there,.having.split.time. at.third.last.season.while.seeing.limited.time.there.as.a. sophomore. 2013 Varsity Roster No. Name Pos. Hgt. Wgt. Yr. B/T ..1. Dan.Labosky.

. Although.he.saw.limited.time.at.third.base.during.the. varsity.season,.Ambre.was.the.primary.third.baseman.for. Chester.Bird,.seeing.action.in.20.games.while.batting..283. . Newcomer.Nathan.Hanks.is.expected.to.see.the. majority.of.playing.time.at.second.base..Hoemke.stated. Hanks.played.well.in.Florida.and.added.that.Chris.Racchini.will.also.see.time.there.as.he.continues.to.recover.from. off-season.arm.surgery. OUTFIELD . The.Red.Knights’.greatest.strength.defensively.lies. in.the.outfield,.where.Labosky,.an.all-conference.pick.last. season,.and.Sam.Lynch.return.as.starters. . Labosky.led.the.team.with.a..443.batting.average. and.12.stolen.bases,.spending.most.of.the.season.as.the. team’s.leadoff.hitter.in.his.first.varsity.season. . While.Labosky.remains.the.starter.in.left.field,.Lynch. moves.from.right.to.center,.where.his.speed.and.arm.are. expected.to.prove.to.be.valuable.assets. . Hoemke,.who.saw.action.in.five.games.with.Chester. Bird.last.summer.before.being.plagued.by.a.hamstring. injury,.has.the.inside.track.to.be.the.team’s.starter.in.right. field.while.Colin.Polarek.and.John.O’Connor.will.also.compete.for.playing.time. . “This.could.be.a.year.where.‘small.ball’.really.comes. into.play,”.Hoemke.stated..“We.will.look.to.take.advantage. of.our.speed.on.the.bases.and.will.need.to.put.the.ball.in. play.to.make.things.happen. . “Labosky.is.flat.out.a.burner,.and.Lynch.and.Studsrud. aren’t.far.behind..We.should.be.able.to.steal.bases.at.the. top.of.our.lineup,.something.we.will.need.to.do.in.order.to. get.runners.into.scoring.position. . “We.don’t.have.many.hitters.who.are.going.to.attack. the.fence,”.Hoemke.added..“I.think.we.have.the.potential. to.be.an.incredibly.good.bunting.team.and.we.will.need.to. use.it.as.a.weapon..Top.to.bottom,.this.team.bunts.well. . “While.I.don’t.see.us.being.a.big.run-scoring.team,.we. should.be.able.to.create.some.havoc.with.our.team.speed. . “Besse.and.Backes. should.provide.power.in. the.middle.of.the.lineup. and.be.key.run.producers. . “Ambre.also.showed. in.Florida.the.ability.to. drive.the.ball.up.the.gap... Productive.at.bats.from. these.key.seniors.will.be. necessary.for.us.to.compete.” Grant Besse was an honorable mention all-conference choice after leading the team with 18 RBI last season. 2013 Red Knight Baseball . With.10.new.players. on.the.roster.this.season,. the.team’s.defensive. play.is.a.major.question. mark.and.Hoemke.admitted,.the.team.was.a.little. shaky.in.the.field.on.its. spring.trip.to.Florida . “Our.defense.in.Florida.this.year.was.sketchy. at.best,”.he.said..“With. an.inexperienced.pitching.staff,.it.is.imperative. that.we.field.the.ball. pretty.well.behind.them.if. we.are.to.win. . “We.will.need.to. catch.and.throw.the.ball. better.than.how.we.started.in.Florida.” . The.Red.Knights.will. also.have.a.target.on. their.back.as.the.defending.North.Suburban.Conference.champion.and,. with.three.titles.in.five. season,.every.team.in. the.NSC.will.target.BSM. 2012 season PrevieW as.a.key.opponent.and.throw.its.top.pitcher.against.the. Red.Knights. . Hoemke.concluded.by.saying.“Quite.frankly,.much.is. up.in.the.air.and.our.lineup.is.very.unsettled..We.hope.that. competition.at.many.of. the.spots.will.push.players.to.excel.. . “With.only.four.seniors,.this.is.one.of.the. least-experienced.teams. I.have.coached..Most.of. the.juniors.are.newcomers.and.our.success.will. depend.on.whether.or. not.they.can.improve. throughout.the.season. and.then.produce.in.the. playoffs.” . With.a.poor.spring. weather-wise,.the.Red. Knights.will.have.another. challenge.facing.them.as. John Backes batted .314 with a teamhigh three homeruns in 2012.
