TOLEDO, Ohio – The Toledo baseball program has named senior Caden Konczak, redshirt senior Yianni Skeriotis and sophomore Charlie Scholvin as its team captains for the 2025 season, Head Coach Rob Reinstetle announced on Friday.
The three captains were selected by a vote among team members during the fall. A total of 17 players received at least one vote to be captain.
“Yianni, Caden and Chuck are very deserving of the honor to be captain,” said Head Coach Rob Reinstetle. “Each of them possess all of the characteristics of a true leader. Their teammates recognized their character and I couldn’t agree more with the selections. When tallying the team’s votes this fall, I was blown away that 17 players received a vote. That shows us that we have some really good leadership across the 2025 team.”
Konczak has played 130 games in the Rocket outfield, making 123 starts since the 2022 season. He’s hit .267 for his Rocket career with 121 hits, 23 doubles, 20 home runs and 73 RBIs. Konczak has also stolen 14 bases, including nine last season. He possesses a .992 fielding percentage in the outfield, having committed just two errors in his career. Konczak is a two-time Academic All-MAC selection and was a CSC Academic All-District pick in 2024.
Skeriotis is going into his fourth season as a Rocket after two at Ohio State. He has made 26 appearances and pitched 38.0 innings in Toledo. Last season, he made 13 appearances and five starts, logging 25.0 innings for a 4.32 ERA. Skeriotis allowed just 12 runs in 2024, striking out 20 batters to 12 walks. He was also an Academic All-MAC selection a year ago.
Scholvin took over the starting shortstop role last season, starting 36 games for Toledo. He finished the year hitting .257, raising his average 63 points in the final three weeks of the season. Scholvin had 29 base hits, four doubles, two home runs and 17 RBIs and led the team with 17 hit by pitches. He also had a .981 fielding percentage, with 44 putouts and 113 assists to just three errors.
