Partin on McBride: "Nick is
amazingly resilient. He bounces back outing to outing better than anybody
else in our program. When he gets in to a rhythm he can mow through a
line-up. His fastball seems to explode on hitters. He's been up to 89 mph
with us and he really projects. He's long, strong and real athletic. Nick
brings stability to our pitching staff. We know we can run him out there and
get what we need out of him. He's got good stuff. He's a real serviceable
athlete for us since we can use him in a lot of roles. Great teammate and
make-up is through the roof."

What is a
DIRTBAG to You?: A "Dirtbag"
is a style or way to play the game of baseball, and it is played the right
way! To be a Dirtbag you give your best and you give your all for your team
and teammates. And when you do become a Dirtbag, you wear the name with
Honor!
