Coach Kevin Brooks' Take on Austin Church
"He is a good left-handed guy that is going to be really valuable for our team. He has shown the ability to be a guy that
gets hitters out in crucial situations. When he is in command of his pitches and is consistent, he is a really tough guy for hitters
to go up against. He has a chance to be really good."
