Pitch and Hit Night

When two national teams get together in AA, the pitchers hit, so tonight Dave was in the lineup.

Dave had 3 plate experiences and got on base all three times, on a bunt past the pitcher, single and a walk. His BA is 1.000 and so his his OB% but they don't keep those stats for pitchers. Game went well, he got the W, broke two bats (pitching way inside) and working on throwing first pitch strikes, and it sounded like he was pounding the zone pretty well. I watched the ERA go up and down, but overall with a 11-4 win and Springfield record of 11-4 things are going well for the team. One more night in Tulsa and then back home.

When Dave was at Clemson, his teammate's dad used to come down to work with the pitchers. His dad is Bryan Harvey, ex MLP now the pitching coach for the Rockies AA team. Dave said it was great to meet up with him, for as many players Dave has played with, either in HS, travel team, at school or at the cape, it's always fun to run into a friend and familiar face.
