Notes On Cook
Received a medical red-shirt in 2013
Riginos on Lawrence:
“Austin is another pitcher that had
to battle injury last fall. It looks like he will be 100 percent
healthy and ready for the season.”
Sat out 2013 as a red-shirt transfer from Clemson
Riginos on Goodling:
“Brock had to sit our last year after
transferring from Clemson. He had an outstanding fall, I look
for Brock to make a major impact on our pitching staff.”

Pitched in the East Coast Pro Showcase and Team USA
U-17 National Development Program
Riginos on Crohan:
“Matt comes to us as a highly recruited
left-handed pitcher. He has a very bright future in our
program. I look for Matt to pitch a lot for us as a freshman.”
Received a medical red-shirt in 2013
Riginos on Green:
“Michael has really battled injuries the
last two years. He is working extremely hard in his rehab to
get healthy. When Michael is healthy, he has one of the better
arm on the team and the stuff to be a Friday night guy.”
Played for the 2011 North Carolina State Championship team
Was named a three-time All-Conference selection
Riginos on Pace:
“Justin is coming off Tommy John surgery. I
believe he will come back bigger and stronger than before the
surgery, which is a testament to how hard he worked in rehab.
We look for him to be 100 percent ready to pitch.”
Has been picked Big South Preseason Freshman of the
Year by College Sports Madness
Was tabbed a Top 20 Ohio player and Top 500 Nationally
Riginos on Cook:
“Zach is another highly recruited pitcher
who has a very bright future in our program. He is a very highly
motivated player both on and off the field. Zach has a very
good arm and he will be battling for major innings this spring.”
