Shortstop Brandon Richey helped Louisiana State-Eunice win the Division II juco national championship in 2006, then made a successful transition to four-year college ball at Northwestern State, setting a school record with a 22-game hitting streak. He's undersized at 5-foot-10 and 175 pounds, but he's athletic and plays with constant energy. Richey has a strong arm and has improved his speed this spring. He's not the smoothest defender and his hands aren't the softest, but he makes plays at shortstop.
