“We really missed Buddy last year after he had his shoulder surgery. He's a potential leadoff guy who could possibly start in right field. He's very athletic and has a chance to be an outstanding offensive player because of his short, contact swing. He is 100 percent healthy to hit and play the outfield now and he will bring a lot to the lineup. He's still a year away from being ready to come off the mound as the two-way guy that we recruited him as.”

- Coach Pete Hughes
