OMAHA, Neb. — Jim Schlossnagle has seen a lot of baseball in his 27 years as a coach. The performance he watched from Alex Faedo on Sunday was unlike anything he’d seen before.
Faedo had made 50 appearances in three years at Florida so Schlossnagle and the TCU Horned Frogs has a book on the junior hurler. It just, as Schlossnagle put it, didn’t matter.
“Having a game plan and executing against a great pitcher are two different things,” he said.
The canvas for one of Faedo’s masterpieces starts blank. He was the last Gator out of the clubhouse on Sunday.
