Coach Ziegler says: “Nick did a little pitching and played some right field.  This year Nick is making the conversion over to the pitching staff and is pitching only.  Nick is a gutsy competitor.  We think that Nick has a super up side, he was one of most consistent pitchers in the fall and winter workouts.  Look for Nick to lead the way and compete for one of those top four spots.”
