Dirtbags Head Coach Andy Partin is proud to announce 2009 graduate Dirtbag Levi Michael has been named "Captain" of the Dirtbags. Michael joins Tyler Hanover as Co-Captains of the program.

Head Coach Andy Partin on Michael:
I remember watching Levi Michael at one of our workouts over the winter thinking to myself that he was going to be one of the best players and people we have ever had in our program. I am proud to call Levi Michael "Captain" of the Dirtbags.

Levi Michael is not only one of the most talented players we've had, but he is one of the toughest, grittiest guys I have ever been around.

When Michael missed a weekend with us to visit the University of North Carolina, we talked over the phone the next day and the first thing he asked was "how did we do this weekend?" His first words were not about his visit or himself, it was about the team. To me, that goes a long way. It's not always about yourself, it's about the team. Levi Michael is the ultimate "team guy."

Michael's play on the field stands out like a sore thumb. He plays the game the way it's supposed to be played. Michael has outstanding athletic ability and overall make-up. He's a gamer and a tremendous baseball player.

I hope that all players in this area have the opportunity to watch Levi Michael play the game. He's always got a bounce in his step and he plays the game hard! He's fun to watch, and obviously he's fun to coach.

We are proud to put a "C" on the chest of Levi Michael.
