Head Coach Jack Leggett on Fidrych: "Chris is a lefthanded pitcher who is coming off surgery. He is just getting his rhythm back along with his endurance and strength. He's feeling good about where he is right now. He's a tremendously hard worker and very intelligent on the mound. He'll give us some strong innings as lefthander. He's going to figure this out before it's all over, and he's going to make a contribution to the ballclub this season."
