Josh's Baseball History
Josh's thoughts on the Season: "Be relentless, Play to win.",
Coach Gjormand on Josh: "Josh is a three-year letterman with us, and when healthy was a very productive starter for us last season. Josh is a very gifted athlete, and heads into this 2006 season with great potential. If consistent, he will yield one of the top sticks in Northern Virginia this spring. He has very good power at the plate. Defensively, I see Josh moving over to right field, where he has all the tools to be great. I really believe that he has matured into a leadership role, and he’s a tough kid. He plays the game very hard and that will rub off on younger players."
