STILLWATER — Colin Simpson feels like a kid again.
As a 21-year-old, Simpson is not too far removed from his Little League days, but the games Oklahoma State's junior catcher has spent in the outfield have thrust him into youthful memories.
“It literally takes me back to being a Little Leaguer and your dad's hitting you pop flies,” Simpson said. “You tell him to hit one as high as he can just to see if you can catch it.”
OSU coach Josh Holliday has started Simpson in left field on occasion not only to save his legs from the wear of catching, but also to get Jake Taylor into the lineup.
