Humility can smack athletes via poor results, or, worse, bad outcomes paired with body breakdowns.
For two years, this has been the plight of confident, young, could-be-dynamic Koda Glover, the Washington Nationals reliever who throws hard but is yet to last.
Glover roared to the major leagues in 2016. April 7 of that year, he threw his first pitch for Single-A Potomac, less than a year after he was drafted. April 30, he threw his first pitch for Double-A Harrisburg. June 21, his first pitch for Triple-A Syracuse. July 20, he threw four pitches, all strikes, in Nationals Park against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
