Analyzing a Prospect
Jeff Albert offers video scouting of Jeff Samardzija.
Off topic a bit, but my good friend Jim Storer and I were discussing the gyro ball last week, and it came to mind that the best gyro ball pitcher might be Dan Marino. He was a good baseball player, and his football throwing motion was unusual in that his mechanics were similar to baseball pitchers. Since he already knows how to throw a tight sprial, the gyro ball would be perfect for him. Maybe someone should teach him how to throw it and see if they can start him in a new career. After all, he is at his playing weight. :-)
