Did the JC HC tell him not to pitch the summer prior to his freshman or sophomore college season? I wasn't sure if that was rhetorical...but why would a JC HC tell a pitcher not to pitch in the summer? I'm honestly curious...
Yeah, he did tell him not to pitch the summer before he showed up on campus. He was supposed to play on a team that my son was on and they did get decent exposure. My paranoid mind suspects maybe he wouldn't want him to be seen by some D2 NCAA school looking to fill a roster spot with a 90mph type guy. Purely tongue-in-cheek speculation. the coach is actually a good guy and JC's do play a pretty heavy fall schedule, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

Ahh, ok. I was wondering if his reasoning was one of two things: whether to not expose him incoming freshman year so HC can have him all to himself....or if he had thrown alot of innings senior year and wanted him fresh for fall ball.
