Weekend Scouting Report: Case Western Reserve at Heidelberg University
This is the first of two defining weekends for the Spartans. No. 2 Heidelberg University has one of the best pitching staffs in the nation, and the Spartans will have to play three really good games to beat them.
Scouting Report: Heidelberg University Student Princes (11-3)
Offense: Heidelberg has a number of talented hitters, including senior 2B Gar Keen (no relation to Matt), senior SS Jason Lash, senior 3B Willie Brechun, and junior OF Ricardo Lizcano. Their 7-9 hitters are in a slump to begin the year, but they don’t need a 1-9 offense with their pitching staff.
Pitching: Their team ERA through 14 games is 1.86. Yes, that’s the right number, it’s less than two. For the entire team. They don’t have a single hurler whose ERA is over 6.00. Compare that to the Spartans, who have six pitchers with an ERA over 6.00, and you can see why this will be a tough test. Their aces are sophomore righty Ethan Holt and senior righty Brian Koehl
