What they’re saying

“He's a hitter, man. He loves to hit. I think the guys are just thrilled around him. One of my favorite (sequences) that's happened twice this year (has been) Vazquez getting hit and then (Glassco) hitting one out of the park... He's doing a lot of great things. Big day for him.”

— Mitch Canham, Oregon State Head Coach

“I'd never played first base when I went to the Pickles. (They told me), 'Hey, get some grounders at first,' So I went over there... The first throw to me went right by me. After that, I've been comfortable.”

— Bryson Glassco, Oregon State Utility Player
