Head Coach Jack Leggett on Gullickson: "Craig is a freshman lefthander who has one of the best breaking balls on the team. He made some strong improvements over the course of the fall and I look for him to get some innings this season. He has a little savvy about him and a competitive spirit as well. He is going to be an outstanding pitcher for us in the future."
