Meet the Dragons: Scott Gaffney

By Marc Katz, Staff Writer

Fast facts: RHP, 23 years old, from Westbury, N.Y.

Claim to fame: Played third base and shortstop while pitching just a little at Penn State.

Quote: “Being from a cold climate, I hadn’t played much baseball in high school. I was a basketball player a 6-foot-3 point guard. A scout told me I ought to be a pitcher, but I went to Penn State and after four games, won the starting job at third. I pitched a little on Sundays. My sophomore year, my coach thought I’d get a better chance at being drafted if I played shortstop.
