I know this young man personally. He comes from very good stock. Not likely to be an off-field problem.

Heck. I thought it was another basketball signing.

I'm looking forward to what our baseball team is going to be like when we get all Curry recruits. I'm not a betting man, but I'm guessing that it will be much better than it's been.

Great Bloodlines. 2 Major Leaguers in the close family.

I don't recall seeing a left handed thrower playing shortstop. Could be I have not watched enough Baseball.
RE: Cameron Stilwell commits - outsideualr - 05-23-2015 09:18 AM
I've seen left handed catchers and left handed second basemen, but I don't think I've ever seen a left handed shortstop either, except maybe in Little League. He probably hits left and throws right.

It would be tough to make a play from deep in the hole lefthanded.
RE: Cameron Stilwell commits - outsideualr - 05-23-2015 09:21 AM
But he could easily throw out a runner heading for third base!

This guy sounds like a heck of a player!
RE: Cameron Stilwell commits - MICHAELSPAPPY - 05-23-2015 10:21 AM
Some positions work best with particular throwing arms. Left at first; right at short, third and catcher. But that is only a general rule.
RE: Cameron Stilwell commits - LRTrojan - 05-23-2015 10:27 AM
Where are you guys getting that he throws left handed? All I saw was a "left handed hitting shortstop". To me that says he is a left handed hitter who plays shortstop. Seen a ton of baseball games, but even I have never seen a "left handed throwing shortstop." I have seen a couple of left handed catchers in amateur ball, but never in professional ball.
The Bambino, Babe Ruth was a left handed catcher while playing high school ball at St. Mary's Industrial school in Baltimore. Became a pitcher as a professional for the Baltimore Orioles minor league team. Switched to a outfielder with the Boston Red Sox where he came a fair hitter.
RE: Cameron Stilwell commits - LRTrojan - 05-23-2015 10:33 AM
I read it again, and still didn't see anything about him being a right handed thrower. If anyone can find where it says he throws left, let me now and I'll make an eye appointment.
RE: Cameron Stilwell commits - outsideualr - 05-23-2015 01:40 PM
Maybe he's amphibious! Wait. Doesn't that mean he can throw underwater?
RE: Cameron Stilwell commits - MICHAELSPAPPY - 05-24-2015 06:41 PM
I saw his mother today and confirmed that he bats left, throws right.
RE: Cameron Stilwell commits - DollarBill - 05-24-2015 07:41 PM
I'll take the blame for confusion regarding Stilwell's throwing. I misinterpreted Pappy's post. Actually didn't take the time to absorb it correctly. Anyway, thanks to Pappy,we now have it right.
