Ya, he went to Kearney and beat two top 10 teams out there somehow, had a pretty bad record but had a few kids I know (including Joba) play out there and they just weren't very good. Came back and played for Judds legion team even though there was kind of an unwritten rule that once you went off to college you don't come back and play legion even if you can, threw very well there. Then Nebraska had him play with the Bruins to verify things, and transfer to Nebraska happened shortly after.He went to UNK his freshman year and then transferred to UNL.

Know he had some duis iirc.Wasn't he battling some pretty serious addiction problems?
Yeah he pitched a little bit in Pony League I think, but mostly he was known for being able to mash the ball at a young age. Then by middle of high school he was position less and not an elite hitter anymore (he could still swing it, just not at an all state level or anything) so they started pitching him. He was a grade above me but in my age bracket so I played against him all throughout my childhood.Ya, he went to Kearney and beat two top 10 teams out there somehow, had a pretty bad record but had a few kids I know (including Joba) play out there and they just weren't very good.

He didn't even start pitching until his junior year of high school, so his arm was pretty fresh. Crazy story.
That game got chippy.Gayters knock off Clemson in extras. Omaha bound.
