The dream of every ball player has come to pass for Mike Hinckley, as of today a pitcher with the Washington Nationals.
More details here.
Mike called me a couple of nights ago to pass on the good news, telling me in the process that his fastball has been clocked at 94 mph, and he's regularly at 92-93.
Now we can look forward to more "firsts" for Hinckley: first appearance, first win, first save, etc. We'll keep you posted on Mike's progress right here.
