He has success as a pitching coach, however, one of those gigs was at the pro level, where you are not teaching them anything.
There is another problem here. He probably can't even pitch a ball underhanded.
My requirements for a PC would be: former fastpitch pitcher, former baseball pitcher, then maybe a catcher.
The problem with not hiring a former pitcher, is they will do stupid things like pull a pitcher when they are one out from a win (which I have witnessed). All the pitchers will see this and immediately lose confidence in the PC.
He threw batting practice at LSU for three years. I think he can throw underhand. You can’t dismiss coaching with the Chicago Bandits. Even NPF pitchers need coaching. If they didn’t we wouldn’t see position coaches in any pro sports.
