For UW-Whitewater baseball fans that have kept and eye on statistics this spring it may have been noticed that Rob Coe the catcher has also seen time as Rob Coe the pitcher.Coe has pitched 4.1 innings of late inning relief so far in 2011. The senior out of Appleton North High School has given up just two hits while striking out five and issuing just one walk. Coe’s ERA is 0.00.
In his postgame interview on Monday, UWW head coach John Vodenlich indicated that he’d like to get Coe more innings heading down the home stretch of the season.
“He is a pitcher not a thrower,” Vodenlich tells Voiceeyeonbaseball.blogspot.com. “He is very gifted with a strong arm and he is going to get more comfortable on the mound as the season progresses.”
Coe had planned to be part of the Warhawk pitching staff earlier in his career but an arm injury early-on at UWW put his pitching plans on the back burner.
Coe said he is excited about the prospect of pitching more innings for the Hawks.
There is a good chance he’ll get the chance today vs. Concordia (Chicago)>
