“I think he could beat out an infield single if you made him run all the way to the foul pole. And if he couldn't, it would be bang-bang.”
Brad Ausmus
“Not too many of them were well-hit balls, mostly just looping singles over the infield. They just hit it where we weren't.”
Chris Cramer
“Just when you think you have enough infielders you don't.”
Ken Macha
“Everybody wanted to run me out of town. But Nick was going to be a utility infielder, and we needed pitching arms. We got a good one.”
John Schuerholz
“(Atchison) made a couple of blunders on the infield and we just got some timely hits from freshmen. I think the other girls were thinking if they can do it, it's time for me to step up. That helps.”
Terry Cornett
“I like him a lot. I think he's a very good utility middle infielder. I think he's excellent. He's always ready catching the ball. He's got nice, soft hands. He's got a good arm, and he showed me something that doesn't get in the box score.”
Jim Leyland
“Oh, yeah, he kept me active, running down to first base [to back up throws from infielders]. I get a good workout when he is on the mound.”
