ROSSI ON DERHAGOPIAN: "Gary coming off a very successful freshman season ran into the injury bug during his sophomore year, and it was basically a lost season. He has come back healthy this year and will be counted on heavily to anchor the catching department. He is a strong defensive catcher who we hope will continue to also supply some much needed offensive help. A great year is expected of him."
