Coach Taps says: "Chip was a runner-up for MAC Freedom Rookie of the Year and it was well-deserved recognition. Starting nearly every game at shortstop for us, he became a fixture in thr lineup and displayed an uncanny knack for delivering in key moments. We expect him to be a leader within our team in addition to his on-the-field contributions."
