Player-written Guest Post: Louie Lechich on moving to Pitcher

One of the more interesting stories on the farm in 2016 was a marginal outfield prospect, Louie Lechich, making the transition to pitching. It seems on average about one player a year in the system does this, but Lechich stood out further in that he only started pitching midseason, but by the end he was in the AFL and he didn't allow an earned run in his first 27 (!!!) professional innings.

 

Louie has a big personality and he's one of the funnier players in the system, if you ever get the chance to talk with him. He volunteered to write a post for us on what the process is like to make this kind of move, and it's some pretty cool insight into an unusual occurrence in baseball. Definitely worth the read.

 

Here's his post.

That is great stuff.

 

LOL.... "not to be confused with Dr. Dre the talented musical artist".

I've interviewed I don't know how many dozens of players in the last few years, and he's definitely one of the funniest guys I've talked with. Definitely gets style points for humor and a plus mustache game.
