Mequon, WI – With the likes of Robin Yount Award winners Ryan Krill (2014) and Doug Kraeger (2015) manning first base for the Lakeshore Chinooks over the past few seasons, Field Manager Eddy Morgan has been able to count on quality leadership and competitiveness at the position. The Lakeshore Chinooks will look to three experienced players to fill the void in 2016 as Kurtis Brown (Richmond), Matt Johnson (South Dakota State), and Alex Woinski will take on the challenge of facing Northwoods League pitching and providing power to a speedy roster on the fast track at Kapco Park.

Kurtis Brown – Richmond Spiders

Matt Johnson – South Dakota State Jackrabbits

Alex Woinski – Lafayette Leopards
