“Mike was one of our most improved players this past fall, especially on the defensive end. He played a more-than-adequate third base, and he can also play second base and be pretty efficient at it. We think he has a chance to be a really solid offensive performer for us. He's got power and he had pretty decent numbers considering it was his first year of Division I baseball, let alone in the ACC. We think he could hit .310 with 10 homers. He's got that type of ability and he is playing more relaxed and more confident.”

- Coach Pete Hughes
