Bischel announces class of 2022
MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – Central Michigan baseball coach Jordan Bischel has announced his 2022 signing class.
The class comprises nine players including six pitchers, five of them right-handers. Among the group is a catcher-third baseman, an infielder-pitcher and an outfielder. The newest Chippewas, who will join the program when they enroll at CMU in fall, 2022, hail from Michigan, Illinois and Wisconsin.
"This group of (high school) seniors has the potential to be a cornerstone for our program in the future," said Bischel, whose is in his fourth season in charge of the program. "Positionally, we added high-end talent and athleticism through the middle of the diamond.
"With six pitchers, this group will provide a boost to the depth of our pitching staff when we will lose a significant number of quality pitchers. Most importantly, this group – individually and collectively – embraces the idea of being Central Michigan Chippewas. They are excited to about the path of our program and are eager to work to continue our success."
