Will become the Hokies' bullpen closer after serving as the setup man to All-BIG EAST reliever Matt Dalton last season ... Is fiercely competitive and has the pitches to be successful in the role ... Needs to get a little better command, but likes to have the ball in his hand ... ... Proved to be a valuable performer last year while appearing in 26 games, second-highest on the team ... Was pressed into action as a starter late in the season, but appeared more comfortable coming out of the pen ... Carried a 2.30 earned run average in his 23 appearances as a reliever ... Will be watched closely to see how he adjusts to the job ... 2002-03: Took the mound 26 times, all but three in relief ... Served mainly as a late-inning setup man ... Was forced into a starting role late in the year when injuries struck the staff ... Registered 47 innings of work, allowing just 37 hits ... Struck out 45 batters while walking 21... Held opponents to a .223 batting average ... Finished 4-1 with a 3.45 ERA ... Gave up just five runs (four earned) during his first 16 appearances ... Earned a win in his first outing of the year at Campbell ... Also earned victories in relief against Villanova and VMI ... Made his first start against St. John's and picked up a win with 5.1 innings of work ... Struck out nine batters during that outing ... Suffered his lone loss in a start against Notre Dame ...
High School: Played shortstop and pitched for Coach Philip Stegell at Patrick County ... Lettered three seasons ... Struck out 74 batters in 39 1/3 innings of work his senior year ... Posted a 0.71 earned run average ... Contributed four home runs and hit .413 on the way to all-district honors as a shortstop ... Named second-team all-state as a utility player ... Played some first base his junior year, earning all-district recognition ... Carried a .472 batting average and posted nine homers that year ...
