“Steve is going to battle to get into the lineup this year. He's had a lot of experience here at Virginia Tech but he needs to be a more consistent performer offensively for us. Right now, he's going to have to compete like crazy and play more consistently to garner steady playing time in a suddenly very deep and competitive outfield.”

- Coach Pete Hughes
