The Reluctant Pitcher (2009)
“The Warriors had won the game, 5–2, their first win in three games. The Pacers had trounced them last week. In Wally’s opinion, the Warriors were hardly warriors at all.
Coach Hutter had Mr. McCray, Chris’s father, knock flies out to the outfielders. Mr. McCray was short and chubby just like Chris. He said that he enjoyed helping out because it was good exercise.
Coach Hutter told the infielders to get into their positions and gave them a ball to warm up with. Then he called Wally aside....
“I want you to practice pitching, Wally,” he said. “Get one of those extra shin guards out of the bag and go over there near the dugout. I’ll have Chris work with you. You have a good strong arm, Wally. And you’re left-handed. You’re very much like Del used to be. I would have made him into a great pitcher if . . . well, if that accident hadn’t happened.”
He blinked a little and went on quickly.MoreLess
