Coach Gwydir on Meagan: “Meagan’s an excellent base runner and has the potential to be a great defensive outfielder. We’re asking her to solidify the outfield and to be a calming force. Offensively, she’s a slapper who can put the ball in play and cause havoc. If we can get her on base, she can make things happen.”
