Coach Corbin Quote: Spencer was hindered by a hand injury during the fall but he has made great progress coming into the spring. He benefited by spending a lot of time learning under Curt Casali and Drew Fann and will now be ready to be an active participant. He possesses a very strong arm and is developing nicely behind the plate as a receiver. He is a very competitive hitter as well and potent part of our offense as well.
