Mike Mahoney: Player-Coach, and now Pitcher

Submitted by Squib Hits on Tue, 2007-06-12 20:48.

Last Saturday night, in the Iowa Cubs' 19-4 loss to New Orleans, player/coach Mike Mahoney got to try his hand at pitching. Not only did he prevent Jake Gautreau from getting his seventh hit of the night, but he outthrew Wade Miller, reports the Des Moines Register: "[H]is fastball was clocked at 84 mph, according to the radar gun behind home plate. Wade Miller's fastball, while rehabbing in Des Moines two weeks ago, topped out at 81."
