Coach Waddoups on Schleusner: "Andrew is a proven leader and great athlete.  He is a fantastic catcher with an amazing arm.  He will bounce to the outfield and help us with depth there as well.  His bat is a key to our offensive success as he is a gap hitter that will leave the yard and rack up RBI's."

Schleusner on choosing MSUB: "I chose MSUB because I felt like it would be a great fit for me athletically and academically. I look forward to working with the team and coaching staff next season. Playing baseball for MSUB will be a great opportunity to grow as a person and as an athlete."
