Batavia MuckDogs
2008 Results: 46-28
2009 Manager: Mark DeJohn
What's on deck: After leading Batavia to its first New York-Penn League championship in 45 years in 2008, DeJohn is back for more. He's joined by first-time hitting coach Jeff Albert and pitching coach Doug White. White may work with Nick McCully, the Cardinals' ninth pick in the 2009 Draft, as well as a returnees like LaCurtis Mayes and Dan Richardson. ... Muckdogs fans can probably expect to see Beau Riportella back. The outfielder hit .195 between Batavia and the Gulf Coast League last year, but if he can develop some plate discipline -- he struck out 37 times while drawing only seven walks in 2008 -- that average should get a boost. First baseman Xavier Scruggs also could repeat the NYPL.
