Mamer, a Springfield native and Kenton Ridge graduate, is a junior pitcher for the Raiders. He has experience as a starter and a reliever. 

 

"Luke adds a lot of versatility to our pitching staff," said Kings manager Brett Neffendorf. "With his plus off-speed pitches and his ability to adjust from being either a starter or a reliever, you will see Luke pitch in a lot of roles for us this summer."

 

Weybright, a sophomore from Indianapolis, Ind., made the Atlantic 10 All-Rookie team a year ago after a strong freshman campaign for the Flyers. 

 

"Nick is a big, physical back-end bullpen arm that will fit perfectly into the closer role for us," Neffendorf said. "If there's a save opportunity, Nick will be the guy for it."

 

Cleland, another Springfield native, played for Northwestern High School and is now off to a good start in his freshman year at Cedarville. Cleland is hitting .328 through 22 games for the Yellow Jackets. 

 

"Jaden is everything you want in a catcher, said Neffendorf. "Natural leadership skills, very good catch-and-throw guy and will hit for average."

 

Wilson, a junior from Eaton, Oh., started all 39 games last season as a sophomore and stole 26 bases on as many attempts, which was the second-most in school history, and was named Honorable Mention All-NCAC.

 

"Zac is going to be very exciting to watch play," said Neffendorf. "He is extremely athletic, can play both middle infield spots and will fly around the bags."
