2025 Spring Team Preview: Amherst Steele Comets

Team Name: Amherst Steele Comets
Head Coach: Matt Rositano
Division: II
2024 Record: 15-14
2024 Tourney Finish: District Semifinals loss to North Royalton
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 5/8

Coach Outlook: "Our pitching staff is extremely talented and can go ten deep. Our line-up should be able to produce good run support for the guys on the bump. Defensively is where we will see the most improvement, with a No-Fly-Zone outfield, a skilled infield, and catchers who will throw out base stealers. Great senior leadership will guide our super hungry younger players. This team has great chemistry, and look poised to take that next step this spring."
