LC's Chandler Shepherd named All-American

When you hit 93 on the gun after Tommy John surgery scouts take notice. They dont care if you throw it over the backstop. While I dont really know if it's better take a kid who be able to throw 90+ and dont really know how to pitch or take a kid that throws 87 with a live arm and a wealth of pitching saavy and work on his velocity, but the fact is that most scouts are arrogant enough to think they can teach anyone anything. Thank goodness there have been a few Greg Maddox's come through to humble those that think the former.

Im not arguing that point. Whether Chandler gets clocked at 87 or 93 MPH he is still the smart kid he always has been. That may be what did it as well. He is not only a powerful pitcher but he is a smart pitcher as well, and Chandler I believe has a great future ahead of him? That wasn't my point at all. I'm saying that regardless of that, there are quite a few saying that all LC has to do is put Shep on the mound and they'll win and that just simply is not the case. Pville has proven themselves worthy of respect and I think it's about time they started getting some from people? If not, well LC can just do what they did last year.....watch the Panthers play at Applebees from the stands!!
