My Take

What fascinates me about Caleb Cotham is the second act. A Wilson County native and Vanderbilt product, he pitched only briefly in the majors for the Yankees and Reds, but his real talent revealed itself once he stopped playing. He rose from Reds assistant pitching coach to director of pitching and now serves as the Phillies' pitching coach. To me that arc says his gift was always teaching, not throwing, and the struggles of his own playing days probably make him a sharper mentor. I have real respect for people who find their truest impact behind the scenes, building others up rather than chasing the spotlight.
