Beef River Bullfrogs

Within all the craziness of 2020, one thing that stuck around was CRBL baseball, and what a good thing it was for the Beef River Bullfrogs.

In Jesse VenRooy’s first year of management, he focused on bringing in guys that would boost an already strong team chemistry. While we are a young team, we made vast improvements at the plate, in the field, and our pitching took a big step forward. The future looks bright in Beef River.

While 2020 was essentially pickup games, 2021 is looking to go back to normal.

In 2021 we are welcoming a majority of our players back with a couple new faces. Our pitching rotation is built of Viterbo Commit Brandon Jaenke, Tim Prince, Ethan Bartels, Zach Berg, and so many up and coming studs.

Beef River will also feature some quality hitters as well including 2B Austin Zimmerman (.423 OBP, 16 H), and DH Ryan Gray (.415 OBP, 10 RBI) and vet backstop Taylor Rathke (12 H, 8 RBI) who caught runners stealing 12 times on 15 attempts over 40 innings behind the dish.

Led by Head Coach Jesse VenRooy and Team Captain Taylor Rathke, both offensively and defensively, this year’s squad looks to give every team it faces a good fight.

Come on out to the beautiful Spangeberg Field in Strum and be a part of the great Beef River Bullfrogs culture and witness a group of guys that love to play the game! GO FROGS!
