COACH KUNERT ON BENSON:

"Dylan is as blue-collar a player as I have ever coached, and I knew that it would carry over into his coaching style when he joined our staff. He brings a different thought process and perspective to our coaching staff, coming from a successful baseball program at Mott, and constantly challenges what we are doing to make us better. He brings a tough, old-school mentality with new-school techniques to both our pitching staff and lineup. In his years playing under me and now coaching with me, I have seen tremendous growth from Dylan both as a coach and as a person. He is a true player's coach, building quality relationships with every player and pushing them to be better every day. We are very fortunate to have him be such a large part of our program."
