LEGGETT COMMENTS: "Lou has a chance to be one of our top catchers this year. He's a transfer into our baseball program this year as a junior. He has an excellent arm and can really shut down a running game with his accuracy and arm strength. He has great leadership qualities. He has excellent toughness. He has some snap in his bat. He's going to be an excellent player for us. He's a very formidable player, and we're excited about Lou as an addition."
