Even though Gilbert’s healthy, he hasn’t pitched this season. He lost his mechanics his junior year playing with an injured shoulder, and he has not rediscovered how to pitch like he did that day against Oregon State. “It's foreign,” Gilbert said. “Throwing a baseball is foreign to me now.”

That's exactly what it looked like at the end of last year. It was like he didn't remember how to throw.

It's between the ears. He has the yips and he lost it.

Down vote because going from success to “foreign” is sad. That’s a shitty deal for the kid.

Reading that article is really sad. You have to feel for the kid who pretty much has come to the realization that he is done but wants just one more inning.

What if pitching in an actual game against real competition is the cure? A problem this strange could have an equally strange solution. I wish he would have gotten an inning in a midweek game just to see.
