Virginia Tech Flashback Friday: Joe Saunders

Major League Baseball is winding down, or cranking up depending on which team you follow. We return to the diamond for another installment of the Flashback Friday series.

Joe Saunders didn’t throw hard and was never a big strikeout pitcher. In many ways, he began his career the same way he ended it — as a crafty veteran who relied on movement to get batters out.

Saunders hails from Fairfax, VA where he attended West Springfield High School. He elected to remain in the commonwealth for college and picked the Hokies. The left-hander quickly made an impression for Tech.
