Coach Jamieson on Chris
"Chris has a history of driving in runs at every level of baseball he's played and we look for him to continue that trend here at Missouri. He has a presence in the box and has chance to hit in the middle of our order. I'm excited to have him on campus and have him be a big part of our team."
