Blizzard Roster Strengthened
The Blizzard has added a number of new names to the 2012 roster while retaining almost everyone from the 2011 roster. Newcomers Adam Urbania - OF, John Carlo Saia - IF, and Matt Clark P (all playing at Ashland - a quality Division 2 program run by John Schaly) will give Chardon quality depth in the outfield, infield and on the mound. All three players are products of Lake Catholic. In addition, Pat Ammar (OF and corner infielder at Wheeling Jesuit) and Zach O'Driscoll (P at Heidelberg) - both graduates of Walsh Jesuit give us two more great players who are used to competing at a high level. Coach Navatsyk is also happy to announce that Chuck Seacrist will join the team this year. Chuck is currently competing for innings as a true freshman on the tremendous Division 1 Kent State University baseball team. Add Chardon pitchers Mike Maxwell (Malone University) and John Martillotta (Toledo University) to the mix for the AAABA tournament and the Blizzard should be able to compete with anyone. When you consider that the bulk of our pitching staff returns and coach Navatsyk plans to get our outfielders some more innings, we should have plenty of arms to handle the 50-60 games and the grueling AAABA tournament schedule. Now everyone needs to stay or get healthy and win starting positions on their college teams.
