Matt Sherock #4
3B,SS,2B,C,RP
Matt will be entering his second year with The Michigan Brewers Baseball Club. 2009 was his first time playing organized baseball in 19 years. He returned to baseball from the softball diamond where he had been spending his time since 1989. Some say the reason he moved to softball is so he didn't overshadow Ken Griffey Jr's hall of fame career. Once Griffey returned to Seattle to play out the string, it was safe for Matt to return to baseball. Matt's primary position is infield where he logged most of his time. He can play outfield and had a few games behind the plate as well. Matt is also a member of the Detroit MSBL 35+ Cubs.
Matt Mahrle #7
C
Matt is in his 23rd year of organized baseball. When he was younger, he manned the hot corner and caught part time. Once he hit high school, Matt discovered that Troy Athens needed him behind the plate and that's where he has been since. Matt has been the main catcher for all of head coaches Pete Brees' teams over the past seven years. The two work well on the field, as well as handeling the Brewers young pitching staff in the off season. Matt has learned to develop the pitchers very well and his leadership on the field is unmatched. Matt was among the team leaders in walks and hopes to help lead the team to the playoffs this year. "Mars", as he is called by his teammates, is on of the team Captains this year and is looking forward to "putting on the foil" this summer.
