Note: If you missed part I of this interview you can read it here.
The trouble with asking a pitching coach about a pitcher on March 11th is that they might pitch March 12th and then go have Tommy John surgery on the 21st. I think the following analysis of Jharel Cotton’s pitching would be a tad more compelling if Cotton were about to take the ball for Oakland any time soon – which was the idea at the time. Oh well. It’s still, hopefully, interesting, but I may need to publish this interview again in about 15 months.
