(And, have you worked a [SUNY] game that Tyler Johnson pitched yet?)

Not yet - hopefully next year. I did have Tropeano though. Someone did a good job of recruiting to land those two freshmen.

They have a guy hanging around here, and they signed Johnson before he had a chance to play his senior year. I heard about the other guy you referred to. Tyler said he's the goods.

Johnson's lefty teammate in high school was Sean Gilmartin, also a freshman, who went 12-2 for Florida State this year, and led the A.C.C. in wins. And there was a third guy on that team that had a little twinge, or that would make three D-I starters from one high school team. He wound up being a left fielder at Loyola, and is probably going to pitch this year. My son was a short reliever on that team, but with those guys around, it was a lonely job.

I can't wait until you have Johnson--he's as close to Orel Hershiser as I have ever seen. I watched him go 20-0 as a varsity starter.
