“You talk about improving from one year to another; Sean didn't even think he could play Division I baseball two years ago, but he's grown and gotten more confident in his abilities and his productivity has gone up. He's a really good player. He's going to be our center fielder and he'll be one of the better defenders in the league, and he's also going to improve his offensive game. He wasn't even 100 percent healthy last year; he was playing with a bad hip. Now that he's healthy, we can take advantage of the running game with him. He had an outstanding fall and he will supply some really good leadership for us.”

- Coach Pete Hughes
