Coach Leggett on Mike Calitri:
"He has been a part of our program for a long time and has the respect of his teammates because of his hard work. You could see that by his election as one of our co-captains. He will get some strong consideration for playing time at first base. He can also help us at the plate because he has shortened his stroke."
