Coach Farley on Betsch: "Rick has been through two shoulder surgeries in the past couple of seasons, which has limited his playing time for us. He has never complained about the tough luck that came his way, and he has worked incredibly hard to put himself back in position to start as either an outfielder or DH in his senior year. Rick is a respected leader on our team."
