Walter on Loepprich
"Loeppy was in our weekend rotation last year and was solid for us in that role, throwing very well at USC, against Richmond and in the conference tournament. He goes as his sinker goes. When he is getting ground balls and missing barrels, he can beat anybody on any given day. He will likely bounce back-and-forth between the rotation and the bullpen like John McCarren did last year." 2017 (Junior)
