  1. Years ago when my relative was being recruited in baseball (played for WG @Rice), I had a conversation with a Pirates area scout and this conversation came up. I asked what he looked for most in a high school prospect, “swing and miss” stuff, clean mechanics, physical build, etc. Without hesitation he said, “command of the fastball”, followed by “swing and miss in the zone”. He said, “If they’re not throwing strikes in high school, it’s an issue. Very rare to see someone improve control as they advance in competition”. Stating the obvious, but it’s amazing how many coaches are convinced they can “fix” mechanics and muscle memory.
  2. Check out the comedy @ 4:20 mark in the video above. Left tackle downblocks and takes out (knocks on his ass) RG #60 who I'm assuming is reaching for the second level. Good stuff.
  3. Naw. Out here in the beautiful Chehalem Mountains in Oregon wine country. Surrounded by beaver(s). To CTJ's point, if the Pac-12 was still intact, I think it would be a hard pull to get Canham. He's got them rolling, low-pressure gig, young kids in school, PNW guy, blah, blah. The lack of conference affiliation and our checkbook may render all that moot. I'd be thrilled if we could poach him.
  4. I’m with Beau Vine… Canham is Corvallis to the core. Never say never, but guarantee the Reser family won’t let him go anywhere without a fight. Guy is a legend down there.
  5. Fucking this. Although Bel-Square had the best talent circa ‘09.
  6. Nolen’s Eugene visit will coincide with the next “atmospheric river” event tomorrow. Will be raining sideways with temps in the low 40’s, pretty typical dreary December weather in the PNW. Uncle Phil’s checks will buy a ton of Gore-Tex, but gotdam it’s gonna be nasty here this weekend.
