Hunter Stovall spent much of his senior year at Pelham High School behind the plate and was named the 2015 Alabama Gatorade Player of the Year.
But when Stovall arrived at Mississippi State for his freshman season he was primarily expected to play second base and would only be a fourth option at catcher to be used in an emergency situation.
That scenario transpired early on as Jack Kruger was unable to catch while recovering from a shoulder injury and Josh Lovelady suffered a season-ending knee injury on the second weekend.
