Gotta give it to you: that example is probably in there to make the point to HS coaches, "See? This works." Schwanke's college team was going against Matt Anderson, a #1 overall pick in the draft. Like San Diego St. and Stephen Strasburg, pretty much. This is the CWS triumph that the coaches dream about their whole lives. Such incidents are the only things that convince some coaches, right?
He kind of "reaches" for the plate discipline example of taking a 1-0 fastball down the middle. But I thought that was fairly cool, because Larson wasn't ready to hit 97 MPH on that pitch yet. I know a few Trumbos who were a little more shrill than that.
But yeah. Larson's pitch sequence wasn't the most impressive example in the lot.
