• Coach’s Comments. Steve is looking to match or better the offensive numbers of a very successful freshman season. He moved from third base as a freshman to shortstop as a sophomore, and now looks to take over the second base postion as a junior. Has also seen time as a reliever during his career. His potent bat earns his spot in the lineup for the Bulldogs.
