How did Gunnar Gundy become the only southpaw in his family?
It was the only thing he ever knew.
He started pitching early. That’s going to happen when you’re the son of a big-time college football coach, like Oklahoma State’s Mike Gundy.
“I started throwing a little football when I was 2,” he recalls. “I’d try to pick it up with my left hand and people would try to switch me. My mom (Kristen Gundy) would be like, ‘There’s no way he’s left-handed.’ ”
Gunnar’s dad and uncle famously threw from the right side. Mike Gundy was a Cowboys standout in the ’80s and still ranks as the school’s No.
