re: Hardest throwing pitcher we've had at LSU

that is really interesting because Jamie did not pitch his senior year. He was in CF when STM won the state title in 1992. LSU football coaches did not want him hurting his arm

Did he not throw in the low 90's in HS? Did the Braves draft him as an outfielder or pitcher? That was a long time ago so I called my sister and asked. He was actually a Jr and was dating one of her friends who was a Sr. I was mistaken when I said he got drafted a few months later...it was the following year. That had nothing to do with the point that I made about throwing 90's ~30 years ago being a bigger deal than it is today.
