COACH CORBIN QUOTE: There aren't too many kids in the country as athletic as Johnny. He is tall, rangy, strong, fast and has a good arm. Playing behind several talented kids in the outfield, Johnny will get the chance to grow and learn from these kids - he will be a very good player in time. His bat may give him opportunities this year.
