Biography
Coach Taps says: Vinnie had a strong fall and will be vying for time at either second base or third base + may also get some innings on the mound. He showed an impressive knack for getting on-base and is also a solid defender. On the mound he hits his spots and relentlessly wears out the strike zone.
