Head coach Tim Corbin on Whitcomb: “Mack has been a great addition to our program and has brought a very positive presence since arriving on campus. He has an older, mature demeanor and consistently sees the good in situations, which has helped him transition seamlessly into our environment. Mack brings two years of strong offensive production at the collegiate level and has shown the ability to drive the baseball to all fields. Mack is smart, motivated, and has adapted well to our system. Defensively, he gives us another front-line option behind the plate, with strong receiving and blocking skills and a good overall feel for the game. Off the field, Mack approaches his responsibilities with the same intent, earning Dean’s List honors in his first term. He continues to add value to our program in multiple ways.”
