NEW HAVEN, Conn. ? The Yale University baseball team announced the addition of six players to the roster for the 2012-13 season, including junior outfielder Jake Semones and five freshman, and all six student-athletes are expected to make an immediate impact for the Bulldogs in the spring.
"This year's freshman class has really impressed thus far," said Yale's head coach John Stuper. "The pitchers have shown an ability to pound the zone consistently and should compete for significant time on the mound this spring. The position players have also done a tremendous job showcasing their versatility on the defensive side of the ball, as well as an ability to produce consistent, tough at-bats. All in all, I could not be happier with what I have seen from this group thus far, and expect all of them to contribute to our success this spring."
