With 2022 now in the past, PBR Ohio is eagerly anticipating bringing the Buckeye state the best high school coverage that can be found anywhere in 2023. Starting in February, we began releasing team previews for squads across the state. Ahead, we will have Preseason All-State Teams as well as the Preseason State Rankings coming your way.

2023 Spring Team Preview: Archbishop Moeller Crusaders
Team Name: Archbishop Moeller Crusaders
Head Coach: Tim Held
Division: I
2022 Record: 29-3
Returning Starters/Pitchers: 5/6
Coach Outlook: "We return a number of players from our 29-3 team that advanced to the elite eight. This experience should allow us to compete at a high level early in the season against a very competitive schedule. We have a lot of high level arms to go along with the entire middle of our defense returning. Our offense looks to replace a couple bats from the middle of last year's offense but should be dynamic up and down the lineup."
