AU64 10,122 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Expect this has been discussed numerous times but how did Craig Kimbrell end up at Wallace State and then to the majors by age 22? Did he fall through the cracks or did someone teach him how to throw that amazing fast ball after he got signed? Looks like he should have been at AU or UAT out of HS.

Ronald McDonald 0 Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 He didn't have that fastball out of high school. He told us about it when he talked to my team last year but I can't recall the story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerjeffm 0 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I really like the way this team is put together. If Heyward gets hot I think they wil begin to score significantly more runs. They don't need them now the way they are playing defense but they will need them to beat the phils and Yankees and such Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend played at Wallace and caught a bullpen by Kimbrel. Wallace was the #1 Juco in the nation when Kimbrel was there. They also had Derek Holland of the Rangers. Mostly people will go there if their grades are bad and they can't make it into a bigger college. Good players often get overlooked and once they get to college, talent can change greatly. I played at BSC (division 3) and one of my former teammates got drafted by the twins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
