One of the signees (can't remember which one) is supposedly the fastest guy on the team.



I think that's Watson, but Slaughter can move too.

Watson is correct. Mainieri says Zach Watson is probably the fastest runner on the team this year. He was a four-year starter at West Ouachita High School and hit over .400 each year with 31 career homeruns. His senior year he hit 10 homeruns and batted .481 and used his speed to steal 28 bases that season.

The incoming recruiting class includes three players who played quarterback on their school's football team, INF/C Rankin Woley from Atlanta where they won the state championship in their class, RHP Eric Walker from Arlington, Texas and RHP Matthew Beck from Alexandria HS. Beck threw 40 touchdown passes his senior year.
