Head Coach Jack Leggett on Ward: "Adam is a junior catcher who walked-on to our team last year. He continues to keep working hard and finding himself in good positions all the time. He is one of those players who when he gets in the game, he does exactly what is expected of him, both at the plate and behind the plate. He is excellent in his execution skills, and defensively he does a really good job of receiving, catching, and blocking the ball. He is a great guy and brings an outstanding attitude to the ballpark every day."
