Royce Bolinger

Gonzaga recruiting coordinator Danny Evans grew up in Arizona and the Bulldogs have done well recruiting players from the Grand Canyon State up to Spokane, Wash., with the likes of Rays lefthander Ryan Carpenter and Bolinger. A senior, Bolinger has an athletic build at 6-foot-2 and 200 pounds. He comes from an athletic family. His father, Monte, spent five years in the Cardinals organization, reaching Double-A, and his uncle Russ was an offensive lineman for nine years in the NFL with the Lions and the Rams. Bolinger put together a great season, hitting .394/.446/.624 with 11 home runs--doubling his career total. Bolinger profiles in right field because his arm grades as a legitimate 70 on the 20-80 scale.
