The 2016 Buckeye nine open the season on Friday at the Historic Dodgertown Classic in Vero Beach, Florida. We look at who will be manning the field around the horn on the infield.
While Ohio State has serious questions on the mound and behind the plate, there is no anxiety surrounding the infield. This group is the most experienced on the team, returning four seniors who have seen major playing time since they were freshmen, and will be expected to play at a high level both with the glove and with the bat.
"The maturity, the experience and the culture within our program are going to be the strengths for this ballclub," head coach Greg Beals said.
