• University of Washington’s Brian Pearl, who’s expected to be a top 5 round pick, discusses making the switch from infielder to pitcher.
I made the transition from closer to starter and that’s new to me. I think last week was probably the third or fourth start of my life, so it was different. But, if I can help the team win by moving into the starting rotation, that’d be fine, but at the same time, it’s kind of difficult…I’ve got to get my stamina up. My first outing was good. I went six innings and I felt like I could have went eight or nine, you know, but they felt like it was a smart decision—since I haven’t done it—to cut it a little short. During my last outing, my lat kind of tightened up on me. I talked to Ken (Knutson) about it and he said it was mainly something . . . the transition process from the bullpen to starter, it’s kind of a common thing for your body reacts differently. So, hopefully this week that’ll be fine. I’m still in the bullpen as far as midweek goes, then weekend comes around and I’ll be on the hill either Friday or Sunday. [read the interview here]
