Plenty is my guess. Bob is unlike
most rockies with great speed. They
usually keep the ball in front Of them
and the batter is able to follow the
flight Of the ball.
Bob not only is gifted naturally, but
clever He hides the ball, delivers it
with side twist. To the batter it
comes suddenly from nowhere. And
with Feller's speed, that ball is past
the hitter before he knows it.
He reminds me lot of our How
