I’ve written twice in the last week about former Cubs No. 1 draft pick (2002) Luke Hagerty, who began his attempted comeback at a throwing session in Seattle last Sunday, and it was later reported that he threw faster than any of the other dozen or so pitchers at that session, averaging nearly 97 miles per hour.
Even though Hagerty is 37 — and will turn 38 April 1, and that’s no foolin’ — someone who can bring that kind of fastball heat and is lefthanded surely deserves at least a look by a major-league team.
