Bismarck Larks 2024 Roster Announcements<\/p><\/h1><\/div>

The Bismarck Larks Surveyed the Field powered by Frontier Precision and found the 2024 roster. Field Manager, Mark Weidemaier, has a different philosophy for building the 2024 roster: a team that can manufacture runs and throw strikes.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy offensive philosophy is simple, I want speedy guys because my strategy is based on scoring runs, not just putting balls in play,\u201d Weidemaier said. \u201cMy idea is to get the lead-off guy on as fast as possible and get him to 3rd base with less than 2 outs any way possible. We\u2019re going to run, we\u2019re going to bunt and we\u2019re going to hit and run. We\u2019re not going to sit back and wait for a three-run home run. We have to force the issue and put pressure on the opposition.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

Catchers<\/h1><\/div>

\u201cThe second half of the pitcher-catcher battery is important and we\u2019re going to have some guys that really impact the game on the defensive side but just as importantly on the offensive side of the plate,\u201d Weidemaier said. \u201cThese are guys that can hit, apply pressure and force mistakes from the opposition.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Leading the charge behind the plate are five exceptional catchers:<\/span><\/p>\n
