From Banfield: “Quinton is the rare junior college prospect with significant physical projection remaining. At 6-foot-5 and well under 200-pounds, he generates impressive arm speed, working 86-89 mph as a starter, that should only continue to increase under Coach McKinney and our strength program. He’s a guy with a track record of success and strike-throwing ability that has a chance to be an immediate contributor for us in a number of roles.”
