"The Royals are a great organization with a rich baseball tradition; I am thrilled to be associated with the team. I appreciate the opportunity the Royals have given me and look forward to helping the team any way I can. I believe that my association with the Major League club will make our baseball program here at Riverland much stronger and hopefully lead to a JUCO World Series Championship."
