Coach Disch's comments: Tadd is going to have a major role in our pitching rotation this year with our program. He is very competitive and does not leave anything in the tank when he pitches. He also is involved with the SAAC committee at WSC. He does a great job in the classroom earning well above a 3.0 grade point average. He will be one of our leaders on our pitching staff this spring.
