TNick Sandlin is a joy to watch pitch. Some things about this year’s Cleveland baseball team are not so much fun, but Nick Sandlin is firmly on the good side of the line.
Why do I enjoy watching Sandlin pitch so much? Let me count the ways.
As a kid playing baseball, I had my sidearm tendencies hammered out of me and I’m still resentful of it. I was accurate enough and throwing from the side felt better. But my coaches wanted my throwing motion to “look right” so I went overhand, fast forward twenty-ish years and I have a partially torn rotator cuff.
