The Bearcats lost six starters from the 2018 season that went 5-16. Longtime head coach Brian Becker retired and assistant coach Drew Pixley has now stepped up to take over as head coach in the 2019 season. There are also a lot of new faces at the varsity level as well.
Drew Pixley is a 2007 graduate of Dexter High School and wasa three time 1st Team All-Conference and 1st Team All-District during his high school baseball career. He played two years of college baseball at Mineral Area College before playing two more years at Murray State University graduating in 2012.
Pixley has a passion for baseball there is no doubt that he will bring a lot of knowledge and experience to the plate. He moved to Lancaster, Pennsylvania in 2014 and worked for Elite Baseball where his main focus was to develop young baseball players and prepare them to play at the next level. He worked with more than 120 athletes that have either played baseball, are currently playing, or are signed to play next year. He also helped analyze swing mechanics for Derek Fisher, who is currently playing for the Houston Astros as an outfielder and was a 2017 World Series Champion.
It's great to have him back in Dexter working with our youth and developing talent on the baseball field. He is assisted by his father, Aaron Pixley, and by veteran assistant coach Cody Boyer.
