It is nearing the end of Coastal Carolina's fall scrimmages and team world series games.
Of all the kids I have watched this weekend, one has stood out and caught my eye. Joe Froehlich is a tall lefty that has obviously worked his but-t off to add at least 30 lbs. to his body and he definitely has pitched with a presence this weekend. They have brought him in each game (3 games thus far) to pitch with runners on against tough left handed power hitters. He has consistently gotten key strikeouts, double plays, ground outs, and putting out all fires. The real reward for him imo was the many high fives he received from his teammates after doing his job each time. He has definitely turned heads this weekend and I saw his new pitching coach (Drew Thomas from Illinois) really in his corner.
This is what college baseball is all about imho. You keep working to get better even if things don't go your way at first.
Thanks for giving Joseph the kudos.
It is only 1 1/2 to 2 hrs away depending on how you drive. I tend to be on the bottom of that time requirement! Looking so forward to being able to catch lots of games this spring!
