Orlando, Fla. (www.ucfathletics.com) - The UCF baseball coaches were happy to announce Tuesday that Joshua Siebenaler has signed a National Letter of Intent to play for the Knights next season. A native of Mulberry, Fla., Siebenaler is spending the 2007 campaign with Polk Community College in Winter Haven.
"Josh is a multi-talented player that plays the game at a very high level as far as his skills and energy are concerned," said UCF assistant coach Craig Cozart. "He adds some flexibility at the left side of the plate and gives us a guy that can play the middle infield, as well as the outfield."
