Who wouldn't want to? But I don't want to be the guy responsible for him not getting to that next level. He's got a future beyond high school and beyond the college level. He's one of those special kids. In a couple of years we could turn on the tube and see Gavin Brooks on the mound.
Gavin is a very smart, mature kid. I always tell him, 'You know your body more than I do.' He's well aware that there's a plan in place.
My main concern was safety. I didn't want to get a pitcher ---- Vista or ours ---- hurt.
What we're trying to avoid is a four-game week. No one has enough pitching to play four league games in a week and survive.
