There is a place for submarine pitchers especially at the mid D1 level, some coaches like to bring them in for relief for a different look.
Both pitchers had spectacular seasons.
The junior just got named an All-American as a closer.
baseball.123,
Zach wasn't highly recruited out of HS, though he played for a great private school program. He attended a very good Juco, was a starter that was highly sought after by many D1 programs. Drew Peden actually had a better record than Zach, 9-1.
Peden got an opportunity to play in the Frontier League. He was thrilled. As Midlo added, both embraced their roles, and we're willing to go beyond what was expected of them.
Coaches love these type of players.
