I’m wanting for Todd to talk about Owen, seems Owen has brought up by Todd in the fall practices.
I thought he was a fall All Star and I was correct. When someone hits as many home runs as he did in the scrimmages it is definitely something to monitor. I always felt like he was behind Ross and Powell and he was. He also had some injuries this year as well.Quote:

He wasn't great defensively last year. That said, I was never really impressed with Cheese as a catching coach and it will be interesting to see what Kirby does with him and the other catchers we add.
At the end of the day he is what he is- a walk-on caliber catcher who is a good team guy and you need a couple of those on the team.

Good report, I read where he was a good defensive catcher, but like you stated he is the kind of guy teams need. Fact is not everyone we sign or walks on will be a starter. Also, the kid from Va who is a utility player, signed as a catcher, I think his name is James. More news will be coming soon.Quote:

He hit 357 down the stretch, but we was struggling in the early season.
Highly rated recruit out of HS.
Not One Pass Ball last year. 5 Stolen Base Attempts and 4 Caught Stealing.
Probably going to Tennessee to live the Liam Doyle dream.
Decent chance we sign the ncstate catcher
Good pick up. BOC and staff gaining Mo!Quote:

Ross would have had 20+ pass balls playing all season, 80 steals with 2 dudes caught.
I highly doubt that they catch here.Quote:

He is visiting Texas so we’ll see how that goesQuote:
