ROSSI ON MEINDL: "Jim showed some improvement over his freshman season, but there is still room to grow. He is coming off a summer where he did a lot of pitching and gained much-needed reps, and came back this fall much improved. He has an electric arm and the hope is that he figures it out and has a breakout season, where he can give the staff quality innings."
