He pitched for Gateway High School in Monroeville. The buzz about how high he was going to be drafted had gotten around and my high school coach took us all to see him pitch. He was devastatingly fast. Very few high school lefties gave anyone any worries. But he was outstandingly fast with great movement. Seeing him pitch in high school, and being such a failure in the majors(and minors) made me respect the level of play a major leaguer has to have. Just fast won't cut it, you have to be able to place it where you want it.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('4624','John Lease'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('4624','John Lease','I got to see Tim Conroy pitch while he was in high school.

Seeing him pitch in high school, and being such a failure in the majors(and minors) made me respect the level of play a major leaguer has to have. Just fast won’t cut it, you have to be able to place it where you want it.
