Coach Ogilvie's Comments: "Joey is one of the better athletes on the Team. He started in the outfield in 2005 but eventually ended up at shortstop. He missed several games with an injury, but still led the team in hitting. He'll play either short or third for the RedHawks in 2006 depending on how well other infielders produce. A very versatile player and we expect a solid senior season from Joey. Joey can be utilized in a variety of ways both offensively and defensively because of his athleticism. He'll be at the top of the order and expected to score runs as well as drive runs in."
