Mitch Ford had a good freshmen year but when he needed to step up as a sophomore he choked. If I am not mistaking tim Oksendahl had excellent numbers all through his career. He batted .315 as a freshmen, .375 as a sophomore, .425 as a junior, and .295 as a senior. He had a poor senior year mainly because of his rotator cuff surgery to his throwing arm only 4 months prior to baseball and was not fully healed. I can't believe you question this kids arm strength, thats a joke. He has one of the strongest arms around.

he throws a football well...not a baseball

yea and that is based off of a season where he had a arm that was not even close to being ready, i don't know if you know anything about a rotator cuff but it is kind of important to throwing.

you wouldnt happen to be tim oksendahl would you? if your not then you must have an obsession with him, cause i'm pretty impressed that you know his batting averages from each year...

From what I saw of Mitch Ford from his Freshmen year I was very impressed how he played.  The thing is he got to see a lot of good pitches because Cavalier had a pretty good lineup that year for hitters and I don't think many of the opposing teams thought they had to worry about a freshmen at the time.  I think people had too high of expectations for Mitch his sophomore year, he still had a good year but it didn't seem as impressive as the year before because not many expected him to play at the level he did as a Freshmen.  Cavalier wasn't that bad last year where they had to rely on a sophomore to come through for them and if he coudln't get it done once in a while no one else could step up were they?  I kind of agree with Schwab on this one that if this isn't Timmy himself then you are either Tony  "Stat Boy" Reali or an obsessed fan.  "putupnumbers" you are making it sound like Matt and Mitch Ford don't even deserve to be mentioned as Cavalier athletes in that little rant you made.
