He came into his own last year as a second baseman. He had a problem with his rotator cup because the amount of plays and the amount of throws that he makes.

I don't want anyone to get hurt. We had a really successful Legion program last year - it's already a long season.

After having a great first year, and a terrible second year, a sketchy start to this year, I was starting to question whether I was going to get a chance again.

Early I don't think he (Picket) had all of his stuff and also he didn't get to warm up properly.

We have some kids who want to use this high school season and the Legion baseball as a springboard for college. I think high school baseball will afford colleges to recruit during the school year.

When he is not pitching he can play anywhere. He is really invaluable to this team not only is he the No. 1 pitcher he is just a utility player that can play anywhere else.
