Head Coach Jack Leggett on Farina: "Alan is a righthanded junior college pitcher who has an outstanding arm. He has two really-good, quality pitches to go along with the fastball. He's a great competitor on the mound, and we believe he's going to have a big role on this year's ballclub. He's going to get a lot of innings in key situations, and I'm excited about him being part of our ballclub."
