I'm looking for "big-bodied" high school pitchers (juniors this school year ) that are interested in playing fall and summer select ball.
Doesn't have to be a flame thrower...I'll take 86 and throws strikes.
If you are interested and/or know of someone, please send me a pm for more details.

Thanks,

Kevin S. Thamm

Mr. Thamm:

I am the head baseball coach at Deweyville and I have a kid that just might fit the bill for you. Jacob Howell is the young man's name. He is exactly what you were talking about in your post. He is 85-87 with a good deuce and a developing splitter. He throws strikes and keeps the ball down with good sinking action. The kid is a bulldog on the mound and would be a good addition to your team. I pitched professionally for the St. Louis Cardinals so i have a pretty good idea of what it takes to get to the next level in baseball. He has a good frame he is about 6'3" and 180. I have him on a weight program to get him stronger and it appears to be paying off. We will see this spring how much he develops.

      Sure.  You reassign an employee and they leave voluntarily instead of being fired and being open to litigation.  The outcome is the same, but you are making my point.  The superintendent and AD and principal are all empowered to make personnel decisions.  Instead of accepting the decision made, you talk about lawyering up, no one else was reprimanded, railroad job.  I am old enough to remember when high school sports taught life lessons...accountability being chief among them.

      I know absolutely nothing about the situation, but I do know head coaches of sports other than the AD have actual teaching assignments, and I know from my wife having worked in the sped department of multiple schools that it’s not uncommon at all for coaches to shirk those duties.  It could very well be that this was the case at BC.  Or not, I don’t know.  Just bringing this up to point out the fact that, although many coaches only want to worry about coaching, they generally have several other responsibilities at the school.  some of them neglect or ignore these duties entirely.  If he’s been written up for other issues before, it’s a dumb argument to say “he was punished for this and others were not”.  If he had a pile of write ups in his file and they did not then it makes sense that the punishments were different.

      He wasn’t fired, he was reassigned and people get reassigned all the time. If he was actually fired, then you would have a point, but he wasn’t fired. Based on the information presented here no way this would stand if they fired him and he lawyered up.

      I heard the assistant was going to get this job and assume it was referring to the old Vidor coach, Nate Smith.  I always thought he did more with less at Vidor and can't help but think he shares some responsibility in Vidor's recent success.

      Classic Bridge City.  Always someone else's fault, refs/umpires cheated, AD with an agenda, yada, yada, yada.  As far as I can tell it's damn near impossible to get fired at these schools so when someone does get fired, it's usually something.  Drama at Bridge City is a constant.  The guy did a good job coaching basketball and I'm sure he'll continue that somewhere else.  Time to move on.
