Mogadore Wildcats 2026 Softball Preview

Team name: Mogadore Wildcats

2025 record: 16-3

Coach: Calee Lung - 1st year HS coach, many years as travel coach at different age levels. 

Coaching Staff: Leslie Smith - Asst. 

Key returning players: MJ Shellenbarger, Tali Bartholomew, Rylee Clark, Jayden Miller, Peyton Walker 

Position outlook:

Infield: MJ Shellenbarger - senior - 3rd base - expect her to be a wall & great arm. Peyton Walker - senior - 2nd base - expect her to be our commanding voice and leader in the infield.

Outfield: Rylee Clark - senior - with her speed she will be a ball hog out there and cover a tremendous amount of ground. She signed a letter of intent to attend Bluffton to play softball. 

Pitching: Tali Bartholomew - sophomore - expect her to be our Ace. She has many pitches and speed along with movement. She also has one of the best work ethics I’ve seen in a player. 

Catching: Jayden Miller - senior - solid behind the plate with a good arm. She has signed a letter of intent to play softball at Bethany. 

Season outlook/expectations: “I have high expectations for this team and going into season we all have a winning attitude,” said Lung. “I’m beyond excited to get started and have a great first year!”
