Quotes
"Catching is not easy. I came out strong swinging the bat really well at the beginning of the season. I was in the outfield and I felt like it was less things to focus on. My bat started to flourish a little bit more. I just kind of wanted to keep that going and see if I could get to know myself a little bit more as a hitter."
- Peter O'Brien
"They were really good. But I’m going to stick to my strength and throw that pitch when it’s not going to hurt me. I want to keep working on it these last couple of weeks of the season."
- Chase Anderson
