Wow, for those who haven't heard, he is a 6'4 23yr old Japanese rookie for the LA Angels. Dude is a freak of nature who, wait for it, is a starting pitcher and DH! I believe he already got a W and hit a HR, I happened to see him yank a rope into right field for a single. Apparently he holds the record for fastest pitch in the Japanese league at 103!
What does any of this have to do with TCU?
Luken Baker.
Is his throwing arm healed?
If so would he be interested in returning to the bump?
I completely understood the direction he and the staff took with his career but it seems that Ohtani has blown the doors right off the mindset of either pro pitcher or pro hitter but no possibility of both.
Unfortunately 1st base has not proven to be the safe haven health wise for Baker as planned. I mean, I'm not sure he has less risk of injury at first than on the mound, or which position his heart prefers. But I do know Landestoy, the SP era, and now Ohtani.
So what say you frog faithful?
Any way Baker could be the next Ohtani?
What would be best for Bakers pro career?
What gives the Frogs the best chance of winning this year before Baker leaves?
How heavily should all of these and other factors be weighed in making such a critical decision?
