“His velocity was good from the first pitch on. Joel threw the ball extremely well.”
Mike Hargrove
“Joel did a really good job stepping in. It was a good outing. They got after it and really played.”
Jason Venable
“Joel is in really good shape this season. He's going to run extremely fast.”
Ryan Parker
“My dad (Joel Berger) has always told me to make other people look good and that's what I've always tried to do. I've found that if you make other people around you look good, you'll end up looking decent, too.”
Craig Berger
“Joel (Koopmans) got a good look at a (3-pointer) and it was in and out (to start the third). I think if we get that, we get rolling right away. It was a game between two even teams and it was a game of momentum. We just took a little too long to get ours back.”
Dean Wagenaar
“I don't think Joel moving to left field means they don't believe in me. He's an exceptional prospect. I can't focus on anything I don't have control over. I can't do anything about that.”
Jason Repko
“Joel is not afraid to let those two guys jump in when he doesn't see something. It's nice to see. It's not one guy controlling everybody. They're not puppets. They bring their input, and that's what makes coaches successful.”
