The following is a guest post from reader Julian Bussells.
It can be difficult being a MLB swingman, having to keep switching between the rotation and bullpen and not having a set job. Those types of players don’t normally see the spotlight, but I want to cover a certain Yankees pitcher from the 1960’s because he grew up where my family is from and is even good friends with my grandparents. The pitcher I want to talk about in this article is Jim Coates.
