CINCINNATI – University of Cincinnati baseball head coach Scott Googins has named Cole Harting, Cam Scheler and Garrett Harker as team captains for the 2023 season.
 
"Cam, Garrett, and Cole were voted on by their peers to help lead this team," said Googins. "For us to be successful, we must have captains who know and understand our philosophy but are also able to communicate and reinforce our standards to the rest of the team."
 
Harting, a junior outfielder from Cincinnati, started and played in all but one game last saeason. He batted .313 (67-for-214) with nine doubles, two triples, nine home runs and 47 RBI. He was second on the team in hits (67), and RBI (47), third in home runs (9) and tied for fifth in doubles (9). He garnered American Athletic Conference Weekly Honor Roll recognition three times in 2022.
 
Scheler, a redshirt junior catcher from Louisville, Ky., played in 25 games with 17 starts in 2022. He posted a .313 batting average and .813 slugging percentage in conference play with two home runs, two doubles and eight RBI. He launched a ninth inning, pinch-hit, walk-off home run in his first at-bat of the season against Ohio State on March 2. 
 
Harker, a sophomore right-handed pitcher from Lebanon, Ind., will take on a bigger role in 2023 after making six starts last season. He boasted a 4-3 record and struck out 38 batters over 48.1 innings pitched. He earned AAC Pitcher of the Week honors following a six-inning, one-hit, scoreless relief outing at Wichita State on April 15. 
 
Cincinnati will open the season against Georgia State on Feb. 17-19 in Atlanta, Ga.
