Coach Corbin Quote: We will look for Keenan to help lead our bullpen this year. He is a "team first" player who maximizes every opportunity that he gets. He brings energy and work ethic to the field everyday. He is a real good competitor with the ability to throw several pitches for strikes. His consistency goes beyond the field, as he has been an honor roll student the last couple of years.
