Troy Dixon has molded into a valuable bat for St. John’s
Sports/Athletic CommunicationsSt. John’s continues to have one of the best offenses in the northeast, and they owe it to the program’s ability to smoothly transition players into new roles as they get more experience. The Red Storm lost five different starting position players from last year’s Big East title, yet they remain strong because more players have emerged as serious offensive threats.
With the loss of Tyler Sanchez (drafted by the Texas Rangers in the 17th round), St. John’s had to fill a hole at catcher, and have easily done so with junior Troy Dixon. Dixon has turned into the player the team expected him to be.
