COACH CORBIN QUOTE: Chris had some very big hits for our team as a freshman where he made the difficult transition of jumping from a high school junior to a college freshman. He has everything you look for in a catcher... size, physical strength, big arm and hitting ability. He has steadily improved his defensive skills behind the plate as well as his game calling ability. He is a strong presence for our club.
