this guy tried out almost every year for east Carolina and the coach cut him every time, I wonder how many other east Carolina pitcher were drafted or signed last yr?

Texas has had a couple of walkons make the team over the last few years, but I think they were invited walkons. just this past yr a pitcher with good high school career but didn't throw hard was playing in summer league and his coach knew Pierce and told him about him. They invited him to walkon, after a fall in the wt room and gaining 20lbs he went from mid 80s to low 90s and might have a future with the team.
