Coach Meggs on Nesbitt
โChanning is someone we were drawn to from the beginning.ย Not only is he a good student and a great competitor, but heโs a winner.ย Channing makes everyone around him a better player and a better person.ย When he takes the mound, youโre excited to play behind him because you expect to win.ย Channing throws a fastball in the mid to upper eighties with a true power breaking ย ball and a good change.ย Channing knows how to win and heโs such a competitor ย that I expect him to come in here and pitch himself into a front line role the minute he shows up.โ
