“Steve is valuable because he has played at the Division I level. We have a lot of youth on this roster, so we had to be careful about what type of guys we brought in from junior college. They needed to demonstrate leadership, maturity and productivity, and Steve does that. He is as athletic as any kid I've coached from the catching position, so much so that he's one of our top outfielders defensively. He'll play outfield and he will be spelling Anthony Sosnoskie behind the plate. He can run, he plays with high energy, he doesn't strike out and he has a really short, strong swing. He can also change the game on the bases because he is a really mature base runner. We have a lot of options with him.”
