Baseball look: Catcher
February 15, 2008
The first of five baseball looks over the next couple of days - we’ll go catchers, infielders, outfielders, pitchers, and batting order. This, obviously, will be the shortest.
For the last couple of years, Beau Brooks and Josh Blackwell have split the duties at the catcher position. This year, the job is strictly that of Brooks, a junior. Brooks had a little bit of a shoulder injury late in the fall, but has recovered from that.
“Beau’s definitely the No. 1 guy,“ Troy head coach Bobby Pierce said. “It’s time for him to step up and be the No. 1 guy. Josh Blackwell (senior) is a great No. 2 guy to have.“
The No. 3 catcher will either be Steven Felix, a sophomore who should start in left field, or true freshman Blake Martz.
