MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – Improvement and identification were the goals. Now, it’s time to move ahead.
The Central Michigan baseball program wrapped up its annual Fall World Series Classic last week, giving veteran coach Steve Jaksa and his staff their first under-fire look at a roster that will look significantly different in 2017 than it looked last spring.
A core of seniors and other veterans return, both on the field and on the mound, from a team that finished 24-37. Among those mainstays are pitchers Jordan Grosjean and Pat Leatherman, catcher Robert Greenman, along with senior Alex Borglin, the team’s Co-Most Valuable Player Award winner in 2016 who can play any number of positions.
