“Marc is way ahead of schedule with his rehab from Tommy John surgery and we're excited about that. He was one of our most talented recruits last year and we missed being able to use him. I can't believe we're talking about him being on the mound this year, but it looks like that could be the case at some point. That would give us so many more options out of the bullpen and during the week when we need to win games. He actually hit in the fall. I let him do that because he's an athlete and a baseball player and I wanted to keep him busy with something other than his rehab, and he was good enough that he might play first base or DH once in a while.”

- Coach Pete Hughes
