Rawls Named To Collegiate Baseball Players of the Week List

[CajunStros]

We will probably never know the real answer, but it appears he was in the doghouse with at least Deggs and maybe Seth. Now there are some that will claim that is was senseless and he should've been pitching more. Others will claim that it was just the right medicine he needed and look at how well he responded to hard coaching.

The real answer, like most things, is probably some where in between.

Deggs told a story about a kid from when he was at TXA&M. He said that he told Rawls the same story recently. Anyway, The player had a wipeout pitch that he couldn’t throw for strikes initially. The kid and the coach got into a verbal skirmish early in the season and he didn’t pitch again that year. After some mechanical changes in his delivery, 2 years later he was the conference pitcher of the year as their closer.

You gotta wonder if something similar happened here and I’m not talking about changing his arm angle.

He was another one going thru an “arm stroke adjustment” according to what was said this morning. We have a bunch of those guys. That adjustment must come with a new pitching coach

That would make the most sense as per an explanation why he wasn't pitching. It's too easy to dismiss it as another example of Degg's supposed incompetence, or discipline system.

This is as close to the actual situation as anyone has gotten.

If you listened to Scott’s interview and read between the lines it’s there.

After his baseball career is long over, it will be fun to hear the Cooper Rawls version of the story.

Take hard coaching. Work while you wait.

Good formula.

Silly to ask why it didn't happen sooner.
