Coulter went to Union HS which was about a mile and a half from the school I coached at, so we knew him very well... He was also a state champion division 1 level wrestler and took his senior year off to commit to Baseball.. Another kid that was out of the Vancouver/Camas area that was a top notch catcher was a kid named Austin Barr who is at Stanford now... it was a pretty tough league. We had Tommy Thorpe who is Oregon's Ace and a few other schools had drafted pitchers... It was a fun time to be coaching in that small area...

Haha wow that's sick.

4 more returns today!
Mauricio Cabrera c/o Rome Braves in 9 days
Nice return from the Braves' #7 prospect. He's had a strong year in Rome, striking out 81 over 92.1 innings.
Max Fried c/o Fort Wayne Tin Caps in 15 days
Awesome return from the #7 overall pick in last year's draft!!! He and Giolito were drafted out of Harvard-Westlake in LA. I got something else signed by Fried, but I'll keep it a secret for now
Nick Martinez c/o Myrtle Beach Pelicans in 10 days
Martinez is having a fantastic year in high A Myrtle Beach, compiling a 3.18 ERA over 96.1 innings while punching out 77. He also wrote me a very nice note!
Ty Blach c/o San Jose Giants PO Box in 8 days
So pumped about this return from the Giants' 5th round pick last year out of Creighton. He is having a phenomenal, breakout season in San Jose, going 10-3 so far with a sparkling 2.63 ERA and 91 Ks over 95.2 innings. The most ridiculous stat of all though is walks- he has given up just 9!! Nine walks in 95.2 innings is simply astounding. There isn't a single MLB pitcher who has had control even near that this year. Sorry for the long blurb, but this kid deserves it with the year he's been having.
