Man behind the mask

AUBURN - Before coming to Auburn, Matt Liuzza was never very good at sharing. At least not time behind the plate, but that was because he didn't have to.

Last season at Louisiana State University, Liuzza started the 212th game of his college career, setting the school's record for most starts by a catcher. This year, the Toronto Blue Jays selected three catchers in the Major League Baseball draft that were assigned to play for the Doubledays, including Liuzza in the 19th round.

While he has seen an ample amount of time as the designated hitter this season, he hasn't been crouching down behind home plate nearly as often as he was accustomed to. But less playing time is something that he expected when he was drafted.
