On Natale: Is coming back from an offseason arm surgery ... biggest asset is that he's a lefthanded
hitter who can handle the bat and do many different things for the team such as
bunt, steal and perform a hit-and-run ... is a solid outfielder as well.
As a Sophomore (2003): Saw action early in the season ... played in eight games ... used
primarily as a pinch runner ... had only three at-bats on the season.
As a Freshman (2002): Appeared in 19 games as a freshman, all in reserve roles ... singled in
his only at-bat of the season at William & Mary (April 2), and later came around to score ...
scored game-tying run in Terps' upset victory over nationally-ranked Georgia Tech (April 13).
At Hoboken: Was one of the top players in the state of New Jersey at Hoboken High School
... batted .412 as a junior ... played in one of the nation's finest baseball showcases at the
Area Code games in California ... Perfect Game tabbed Natale the No. 7 prospect in New
Jersey and Team One Baseball regarded him as one of the top five outfielders in the state.
Personal: Son of William and Mary Ellen Natale ... an economics major.
