Will resume a prominent role as the team’s starting right fielder and will likely bat in the No. 6 or No. 7 hole in the lineup … Also may pitch some in relief again … Has worked really hard physically during his career to go with good natural speed and a strong arm, according to the coaching staff.

2015: Starter in right for the first 31 games before an injury relegated his role to pinch runner/relief pitcher/defensive replacement … Was having his best year, hitting .319 with seven doubles and three home runs … Also tallied 13 stolen bases – the ninth-most in the conference … Season highlight was belting two doubles and a homer during a 3-for-5, five-RBI effort against regional rival Marietta (April 1) on his 21st birthday … Stole three bases against Hiram (April 19) … Came into pitch during a high-scoring affair against Wabash (May 2) and wound up with the win after going 1.2 innings.

2014: Was the back-up to NCAC Offensive Player-of-the-Year Jarrod Mancine, entering 26 games (two starts) … Went 4-for-24 at the plate with 10 runs scored, four RBI, and three walks … Made three appearances in NCAC Tournament (May 8-10) as a pinch runner/defensive replacement … Went 2-for-4 with two runs and two RBI during Hiram series (April 12-13).

2013: Appeared frequently (16 games), usually as pinch runner … Pinch ran in one NCAA Div. III Championship game and in the NCAC Tournament championship game, scoring in the latter … Singled in first career at bat vs. Southern Vermont (March 20) … Defensively, played a little bit of outfield as well as second base.

Prior to Wooster: First-team all-Central Catholic League in both baseball and cross country as a junior and senior at St. Charles Preparatory School … Batted .350 with four home runs during his career with the Cardinals, and went 6-1 on the mound.
