Awesome! I hated hitting against a sub pitcher in our district my senior year (last year). The biggest issue I ever saw out of subs was consistency. Looks like your son has it though, good luck to him

He immediately loved the extreme movement he could get. "Dad, my curve breaks, like, three feet!" he said.
He's mainly been used as a reliever in "high-leverage" situations -- like two on, one out, late in a close game. He tends to get ground balls, which can turn into double plays, or pop-ups. The movement mainly produces off-barrel contact. But throughout high school and three years of college, he has maintained right about a strikeout per inning pitched. He got 9 saves last year at Nebraska-Kearney, which was 19th best in D2.
As far as fatigue, it usually just doesn't become an issue due to his usage in relief.

Thanks, Tracker. I know you have kind of followed the young man for several years. Appreciate your thoughts on his motion getting smoother and faster. I agree, btw.
Gingib: In a perfect world, MLB would just reach out and grab him. Actually, I -- DAD -- think he pitches exactly like several guys getting paid to pitch late innings in the show. However, right now, I'm really happy for him to be playing for Coach Gonzales at TAMU-Kingsville. That team was the only team in Texas or any state nearby to make the D2 World Series last year, and they have many returners. It will be a good team, and I know that Eric will shine. The Lord has a Plan, I believe.
Thanks so much for your thoughts, sir!Last edited by tradtiger; 10-12-2018, 12:35 AM.
