Brian Green was one day into his tenure as Wichita State baseball coach, driving on 21st St. near Webb Road, and on the phone with a recruit who loved to talk hitting.
"We're five minutes into getting to know each other and we're breaking down the swing, mechanics, all of it," Green said. "As soon as we started getting into it, I thought 'I'll be shocked if this guy isn't a Shocker.'"
He was talking to lefty infielder Josh Livingston, thrilled to find a coaching staff who knew him and enjoyed deep dives into what happens in the batting cage.
