“Jon is thrilled to be coming here to get a Penn State education, and we are just as excited. Jon is a quality lefty who has a 90 mph-plus fastball. Hes a strikeout pitcher who has good control.”

“Another guy who will show what it means to be a Penn State student-athlete, Michael is a proven college hitter who should provide some power for us. He comes from a great academic school, and well look for him to provide some leadership as he will be replacing two seniors at third base.”

“Louis is a good athlete with great baseball instincts. He takes charge on the field and will give us depth in the infield. Hes a great defensive ballplayer who also handles the bat well.”

We realized that some of the freshmen werent quite ready yet, and I think in the same aspect, we have some older guys that maybe started wondering where they stand with the team.”

“Were going to go with what I hope to be our main lineup. The order may change a little bit, but were going to put a combination of offense and defense out there and were going to let it go.”
