Typically each day, I'll post some information of interest from the media notes that I write up every afternoon before the game. It's certainly not the whole stat packet, but just some things that jump out to me on that given day. Today's are fairly simple but they are listed below.
ABOUT THE STAFF:
• Mark Haley begins his seventh year as skipper of the South Bend Silver Hawks. He resides in nearby Granger, Indiana.
• Wellington Cepeda returns as pitching coach, and is joined by former major leaguer Bobby Smith (hitting coach) on the staff.
• Brian Czachowski enters his fourth year as trainer, while Michael Schofield is new to the strength coach role this season.

• The Hawks roster features seven players drafted in the top 10 rounds of the draft.
• Four countries (USA, Dominican Republic, Panama, and Australia) and 10 states are represented on the Hawks roster.
