Batters, look out. Ocean City High School’s formidable pitchers now have something else to give them an advantage. One of the baseball team's assistant coaches, Frank Coppenbarger, who formerly served as the clubhouse manager the Phillies for 30 years, recommended someone to upgrade the pitcher’s mound at the high school’s baseball field. Now, the mound is up to the standards of the team, which currently has four players headed to Division I colleges. Reflecting the strength of Ocean City's baseball program, other pitchers have played for Division I teams in the last few years.
