“Ben fits the mold that we wanted out of our junior college guys. He's an unbelievable kid who is mature beyond his years. We feel that we can put him in any situation and nothing is going to affect him. He's very effective with his submarine delivery, and he's got stuff that I haven't seen before from that arm angle; he'll be fun to watch. He should eat a lot of innings, get a lot of appearances and help us bridge the gap to our closer, which is something that we had trouble with last year. He's going to be dependable out of the bullpen.”

- Coach Pete Hughes
