Hard to fathom that he was pitching for Air Force in 2022.

Sadly, what's not hard to fathom is that the Pirates will trade him in two years because the management there doesn't appear to be that ambitious.

(I'm not a baseball fan like I used to be, but I'm still a Pirates (fair weather...) fan.)

I was about to say something similar: NY or LA.

@Brandon Van de Graaff did you play as a kid? What position, if so?

 

[TerryP]

Thought: You can find baseball players who easily pick up golf, but you can't find golfers who easily pick up hitting a baseball.

Yes... P/1B. had an offer to play at UAB, but knee injury derailed it... would have been a P there had it worked out.

I could not stand on the mound and do a damn thing. Give me a shot down the middle when I was 2B and I could split a seam throwing 1B. It's the same thing I learned about my golf game. Overthinking will kill ya.

MLB players getting the yips is always fascinating to me. Chuck Knoblauch being the guy I always think of first...

That hits home. It's also been referred to as the "Steve Sax Syndrome."

When I had a "team" in the MLB that I followed, it was the Dodgers. And, it was because of that infield.
