Local Delawarean Makes the M.L.B.
By: Maddy HilL

Bradley Johnson, was the M.V.P. (Most Valuable Player) of baseball, in the NCAA college league. Bradley attended the University of Delaware as a senior last year, and was the starting pitcher for the Blue Hens baseball team. About a week ago, Bradley was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals as their new starting pitcher. You might think that Brad is just your typical pitcher, but he isn’t.

Twenty-six year old Bradley Johnson, can pitch over one hundred and seven miles per hour. That’s really fast compared to other pitchers that can pitch at a maximum of one hundred and one miles per hour. To those of you who don’t know that much about baseball, when there is a left handed pitcher pitching against a right handed batter, the pitcher has more of an advantage striking the batter out. But if the batter was also a left handed, the same as the pitcher, the batter has more of an advantage to hit the ball. Well, Johnson can pitch left handed and right handed. So any time a right handed batter comes up, he pitches left handed, and any time a right handed batter comes up, he pitches left handed. If Bradley has a healthy and successful career, he will most likely be voted in to the Major League Baseball’s Hall of Fame, voted Rookie of the Year, Pitcher of the Year, and maybe even Athlete of the Year.

So, your probably thinking that this is just a fluke, or this is impossible. I’ve heard of a ambidextrous writer, but never a baseball pitcher. Well, when you thought this article could get any nuttier, I would like to take the time and just say……..
