Servais on Wallace:
“I was looking for someone that could work with our offense, had a strong recruiting knowledge, and in a perfect world could work with our catchers,” said Servais. “Rich brings each of those qualities to the table. He had two top-40 recruiting classes at High Point and has a history of improving catchers.”
