Eric Jokisch

Eric Jokisch is exactly the kind of athlete I root for. A left-handed pitcher out of Springfield, Illinois who played college ball at Northwestern, he tasted the majors with the Chicago Cubs before reinventing himself across the Pacific in Korea's KBO League with the Kiwoom Heroes and NC Dinos. That willingness to cross an ocean rather than fade away says a lot about his character. Pitchers like him survive on guile and command rather than raw velocity, and there is something deeply admirable about a craftsman who keeps finding a mound to stand on. I genuinely hope his arm has more innings left.
