OMAHA, Neb. — From the moment Karl Kauffmann saw Tommy Henry onto the bus Monday afternoon, he knew what was coming.
“He was just very locked in,” Kauffmann said. “Pretty quiet. He’s just Tommy. He’s quiet and just goes about his business and you know, basically, exactly, what you’re going to get from him.”
Kauffmann knows Henry better than anyone on the Michigan baseball team. They have played together since middle school, and now – selected within three picks of each other in this year’s MLB draft – they make up the two-headed monster atop the Wolverines’ starting rotation.
