By now you may have heard that Josh Collmenter is teaching the Diamondbacks physics, giving the team lessons on gravitational pull and the time-space continuum. Many of the players on the team have eschewed the music loudly playing in the locker room to gather around Collmenter’s dry-erase board to learn about science. Most of the pitchers on the squad have enjoyed the lesson, possibly because Collmenter deems them to be the “more intelligent species.”
Pitching absolutely requires some deal of intellect, although baseball players are not stereotyped as the brightest academic minds on campus. Collmenter, however, appears to have a student’s mind with a jock’s fastball.
