Nope. Looks like they simplified his windup.

that’s good and predictable.

I remember him coming out that once appearance and being taken aback.

I think in his first outing he only threw one non-fastball.
I think I only counted 4 in this outing, but they did all land for strikes.

I don't really know much about Rooney but if Jay thinks he can be a director of recruiting then I'm in.

That has to help his balance while still allowing some really good leg drive for power. Would love to see him as a quality BP contributor next season.

needs to be consistent and cut down the walks! The report on him is he has good stuff but control was the issue.

He was the pitching coach and recruiting coordinator who brought in the number 1 class that helped back to the CWS in '08 and the national title in '09. So he certainly has the recruiting chops. Adding him to a staff that can already recruit at an elite level is pretty exciting.

Hell Yes! Rooney has a MASSIVE footprint, not to mention a strong presence in baseball-rich Florida and Georgia!

Shooter Hunt said on Twitter that Cam Johnson is starting to trend towards coming to school.

So I’m assuming Rooney is the new third paid assistant? Pretty shocked that Wanaka didn’t get that spot.

Would be great. But that could be a leverage play. Expect to pay him or he goes to college.

He doesn't have much leverage at this point. Is going to likely take less money than originally asked for if he does indeed plan to sign
