Coach Corbin Quote: Bryan came on to have a very productive year for us last season. He got most of his opportunities as a DH, but he is a versatile infielder as well. He is a winning player…he[apos]s smart, savvy and very team oriented. He handles the bat very well and makes smart decisions on the base paths. We look for him to play second, shortstop, third or possibly DH.
