ALTOONA, Pa. – As I sat and watched Waddell pitch for the Curve on Tuesday night in Altoona, it was hard not to reflect on his short professional career so far and think of how it has been such a roller coaster ride for the young man. After pitching a gem to win the College World Series for the University of Virginia, Waddell went to the West Virginia Black Bears and had a 5.75 ERA in six outings. He had a couple good outings, but they were overshadowed by a few bad performances in late August that year.
