On another aspect... heard he's the ONLY PERSON in MLB history to have more hits (7) than hits given up (6) over his last 4 starts. The guy is a freak, but also a great example of allowing a young player to grow and not specialize. If he'd grown up in the US he'd probably have be used mainly as one or another. It's very rare in recent times that college level talent is allowed to be both a starter on the bump and in the field. Yet there are kids that have been very successful at it thru HS. I agree with this. If a guy is your best hitter, there is a good chance he would be a very good pitcher. And vice-versa, your top pitchers can probably hit. Much of the success of the 1986 team was allowing David Brundage, centerfielder, to pitch in the rotation the last few weeks of the season. Dave Brundage. My Fraternity brother. Best all around athlete I ever played sports with. He could do it all. |
