Coach Darin Loe - a middle relief and spot starter in minor league baseball


"Loe looks good"

The B2R's crack research staff unearthed a real gem on Northwest's all-time leader in baseball wins, Darin Loe.  A dashingly handsome Darin Loe must have caught a lot of attention as well as his athletic prowess caught by a local newspaper.

The B2R enjoyed the scouting report on Coach Loe:

"His control, a problem last season, has improved since Pilots coaches made minor adjustments in his mechanics.  In 59 innings, Loe has struck out 56 and walked 31.

Loe was a middle reliever and spot starter for the Peninsula Pilots, the Seattle Mariners Single-A farm team in Hampton, Virginia.

The article went on to say:

"Loe has been one of the few consistent players.  Used as a middle relief pitcher and spot starter, he is tied for the team lead in appearances with 25.  He has a 3-2 record with a 3.80 earned run average and 3 saves."

Here is a young Darin Loe's take on what it meant to be a spot starter from a middle relief pitcher:

"For a while there I was throwing every other day but with these starts I've had to take days off and rest," Loe said."

Well said, Coach.  Well said.

The B2R loves Coach and had to share it with the B2R nation.


Go Cats!!
