He looks poised to take 2018 on head first and solidify himself as a top tier player in Leroy. He was a part of the Nationals team this year that went to Morenci and was part of the infamous Room 2.

Kyle Jansma added to his resume this year leading the Dutch Ovens to a #2 seed going into the playoffs. He has been a consistent fixture in the league through its entirety. The one thing holding him back is he has never even made it to a championship series in any of the 4 years he played. He and his wife welcomed their first child into the world a couple weeks after the season. We hope to see Zander make an appearance in Leroy in 2018!

He also will head the Recruiting Committee in 2018 as he looks to get 40 guys week in and out to the Leroy complex.

Robby owner the Sultans of Soy in 2016 and took the team to the Championship. He looks to return to ownership in 2018 after taking a year off. Robby has slowly played more games each year becoming more committed. He is one of the best two way players in the game and we still haven’t seen what he can do in a full season.
