Pre-Fall Info: Middle Infielders

Middle Infield:

Seth Heck, Sr. 5-11 175
I repeat what I said last year. What a great find by the coaching staff. Heck has a 4.0 in the classroom plus he is an excellent defender. His offense is not bad either. He made what 4 errors at SS last year. That is unheard of. But he might have to play 2B in 2015. Fall ball will determine.
John Holland, Jr.Tr. 5-11 180
One of the newcomers that will have a major impact in 2015. He comes with lots of accolades for defense, offense and stealing bases. The biggest question for MIF this fall is where Heck and Holland plays. The Heck and Holland duo could go down in the annuls of history as one of the best.
Matt Spruill, Jr.Tr. 6-1 190
Matt may play 2B or 3B. We'll have to wait and see where he ends up.
Michael Smith, Jr.Tr. 5-10 170
His main position is OF but I have read where he can play 2B. Fall ball will determine.
Ryan Gridley, Fr. 5-9 170
A true freshman with a lot of upside. He needs to gain experience behind all these upper class men. His day will come when he will start. I really like is attitude and hustle.

RECAP: I see Heck and Holland starting and excelling in 2015. At which position, I don't know yet.
This position could be one of our strongest for 2015. As the saying goes, up the middle defense wins championships. Our up the middle is Gavin Collins at catcher, Heck at SS, Holland at 2B and either Michael Smith or Jacob Robson at CF. That is a great combination.
