It was my great pleasure to have the opportunity to have a discussion with Demetre Kokoris. Originally I had written out a set of questions figuring I wanted to touch on some points to gain some additional insight into Brent Strom, but I can honestly say it turned into an excellent 90 minute conversation where Demetre’s passion for pitching bled through on every topic.
If you don’t know him, Demetre Kokoris is currently the pitching coach for the Blue Jays minor league affiliate. He has had a meteoric rise through the ranks from a Student Manager of a college team with some of the best coaches on the way to a College World Series, before his own success coaching some of the leading college teams before jumping into the professional ranks.
