Coach Ogilvie’s Comments: "Dale has the potential to be one of the best lefthanders we have had at MMC. He mixes his pitches and has good control. Dale is his own worst enemy in that he lets his mistakes affect him. The players behind him could make 12 errors in 1 inning and that doesn't bother him BUT if he makes a bad pitch, he feels that he let the Team down. He has gotten over this and will be an impact pitcher for the RedHawks in 2006. We just want Dale to go out and pitch his game and we will see what happens. The side note to Dale is that he came to MMC a very marginal student BUT has turned that completely around, we hope he does the same with his time on the mound."
