AN Exclusive Interview: Jharel Cotton Reflects Back On Virgin Islands, Forward On Recovery

First and foremost, a heartfelt thanks goes out to AN veteran Margie Kahn for her magical transcribing skills that made it possible for me to publish my three interviews so soon after they were conducted. I sat down with Jharel Cotton on Sunday, March 10th, to reflect on an interesting life that began in the Virgin Islands and has taken him to Tommy John surgery and, hopefully, back.

Nico: I’m really interested in learning about the Virgin Islands. I can’t imagine. I’ve never been there and I imagine that it is just very, very different from the US.
