Coach Watson on Stimpfel:  “Sean was the ace of our staff since he was a freshman, and his cut-fastball was one of the best pitches in our league, from any pitcher.  He developed into one of the top starters in our league, and we will certainly miss him next year.  We wish him the best in his future."
