The low velocity guys fly so far beneath the radar they are never talked about at any level. Announcers never say the No. 1 starter doesn't hit 85 on the gun. Alot of them don't and don't get the credit until they have a bunch of wins. They constantly have to prove they can pitch. Plenty do that. The hard throwers constantly have to prove they can't pitch. Plenty do that also.
Swindle had to adjust to every level of play. I remember watching him get lit up by the Gators on TV, thinking he was not going to sniff another start at Charleston Southern. The next time I saw him pitch was on TV pitching for the Phillies.
