new kids (part 1)

The player in the top photo, Brooks Zimmerman, just had surgery. I hope he comes back. He’s a senior, but maybe he can stretch his eligibility. The third player depicted, shortstop Robbie Merced, transferred to Fort Scott Community College, in…

Austin Knight, pitcher

Whatever happened to Austin Knight, we will ask. He had the long hair and it hurt to watch him throw because his shoulder looked like it was displaced by each pitch. When things didn’t go well I heard him yell,…

Ben Whetstone, first baseman

Ben is still playing, and likely starting, though I haven’t seen a game of fall ball yet to confirm. Who knows what will happen by the time the season begins this spring? Good things. Perhaps new things. Or nothing but…

Nate Witherspoon, pitcher

Hunter Steinmetz, centerfielder

Hunter got drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 11th round and shipped off to Bluefield, then Vancouver(!). He gave up a year of eligibility to sign, but with his speed and strength I think it’s wise. by

Dylan Coleman, pitcher

Dylan, owner of the world’s worst haircut, was drafted as a junior by the San Diego Padres. by

Bears in the Dugout

Posted by olabner on May 1, 2018May 1, 2018 in College, Missouri State

Due to polite request  from certain infielders, and their parents by proxy, I present a few baseball Bears. They were winning the second game of a doubleheader, about to complete a 3-game sweep, and due to weather they would have…
