Steve Bucci Quotations

Shane brings a lot of leadership abilities to us this year. He's used to winning and he's another bat and another glove. He fills the shortstop void real well.

It is just unbelievable what he's done. He has been so important to us and what we've done this year. We didn't just pull him up to the varsity to sit this year, we pulled him up because we knew he could be a factor.

The pro scouts are still pretty interested. The process he's going through right now, he has a school (where), if he doesn't get drafted where he wants to get drafted, he has somewhere to fall back and get an education.

The big thing with him, he's really smart baseball-wise and so physically gifted. He's like a man amongst boys. He has such bat speed as a hitter. He's very aware of things, little details most catchers don't pick up.

I don't think we had five double plays all last year.
