Quotes by Dan Ambrose

“Hes said to himself that hes going to go out and be the best first baseman he can be. He never gets too up or too down. Maybe thats from his pitchers mentality. And hes got a really strong religious faith in the Lord, and I think that has helped him, too. If we cant have him on the mound, were just happy to get him at first base.”

“He and three other kids will probably play a couple of positions for us for a while, switching between second base, shortstop and third base. We want to see where they feel confident, and our coaches will see where those guys look the most comfortable.”

“When you have one kid who is both a pitcher and a catcher, its difficult because its such a different mechanical delivery. Our plan is to use Josh a maximum of three to five innings (pitching) each week. If at the end of the year we need to use him more, we will.”
