Started every game at shortstop last season as a freshman ... Proved to be a steady performer in the field, committing just 11 errors in 238 chances ... Earned third-team All-BIG EAST honors ... Has an accurate arm and knows how to play the game ... Needs to make more contact and display a little more discipline at the plate ... Is making strides in both areas ... Was an efficient batter with runners on base in 2004 ... Also hit in the clutch with a team-leading 18 runs batted in with two outs ... Doesn't have blazing speed but gets good results on the base paths ... A team player with a strong work ethic ... Should continue to get better ... Will be a key figure again this season ...
