For Bo Gobin, a change in his delivery did more than alter the trajectory of his pitches — it altered the trajectory of his pitching career.
About three years ago, Gobin was an average overhand pitcher with good command, but without the velocity to blow away hitters, or scouts.
However, prior to a summer ball game in Blythewood when he was a rising sophomore, Gobin began a transformation as a pitcher.
Working with his head coach, Banks Faulkner, Gobin dropped the angle of his right arm down to become a side-armed pitcher.
“One day we were at Blythewood about to start a game, and he was like, ‘Try this,’” Gobin said.
