  • How Baseball's Arm Whisperer Fixes Broken Pitchers
    How Baseball’s Arm Whisperer Fixes Broken Pitchers Ivan Nova’s unexpected resurgence marks yet another successful reclamation project for the Pittsburgh Pirates under the tutelage of pitching coach Ray Searage. By: Jared Diamond- The Wall Street Journal Pittsburgh In today’s data-driven, power-centric version of baseball, starting pitchers tend to follow a similar formula: They throw as hard as they can for as long as they can, racking up strikeouts until they reach the 100-pitch mark, usually around the sixth inning or so. The days of one man owning the mound for 27 outs ended long ago. But it seems Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Ivan Nova never received that message. Upon arriving here in a trade with the New York Yankees last August, he has emerged as the ultimate throwback, dominating opposing lineups in a manner hardly seen for decades. In his first 15 outings for Pittsburgh, Nova completed four, more than anyone else during that span. Even more improbable, in 91 2/3 innings of work, he has issued just four total walks. That means when Nova pitches, he is equally likely to go the distance as he is to miss the strike zone four times to a given batter. “A lot of guys like to strike out everybody,” said Nova, who is scheduled to start Saturday night in Miami. “I like seeing all those ground balls and quick outs. It makes me more happy than getting 10 strikeouts.” Nova’s unexpected resurgence marks yet another successful reclamation project for the Pirates, who, under the tutelage of pitching coach Ray Searage, have reached the playoffs in three of the past four years.

  • Pelicans Franchise History
    PELICANS FRANCHISE HISTORY In 1998, a new home for the new ballclub in town was built and was dubbed Myrtle Beach’s “Field of Dreams.” Baseball was officially back at the beach after a seven-year absence following the 1992 departure of the Myrtle Beach Hurricanes (Advanced-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays). The Pelicans debuted in 1999 and with the team as green as the grass at the new ballpark, the victories began to mount. The newest and freshest team in the historic Carolina League burst onto the scene and made an immediate impact, storming through its inaugural season. 1999 The Birds advanced to the Mills Cup Championship in just their first year, squaring off against the Wilmington Blue Rocks (Kansas City Royals). With the championship series all locked up at two games apiece, Mother Nature decided the set with the arrival of Hurricane Floyd. The storm forced the cancellation of the series and ended the ’99 season abruptly. The Blue Rocks and Pelicans were crowned as co-champs, an impressive accomplishment for the first-year Myrtle Beach squad. That championship run was guided by future National League All- Star Marcus Giles. Giles led the Carolina League in batting average (.326), hits (162) and doubles (40), numbers good enough to earn him league MVP honors. Giles’ double-play partner on the ’99 Pelicans was his future Major League teammate Rafael Furcal. The History small-statured shortstop dazzled Pelicans fans, hitting over .400 for the first month of his stay in Myrtle Beach. “Raffy” helped propel the Pelicans to their first championship and promptly found himself in the big leagues the next season, where he won National League Rookie of the Year Marcus Giles was an N.L.
