Mike Sillman was, by his own description, "just another right-handed guy in the bullpen" at the University of Nebraska. His coaches suggested he try dropping down and throwing sidearm but there was a catch; they didn't know how to coach it. Through trial and error, Sillman found a groove that led him to become the closer for the Cornhuskers and get drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals. He'll still be in the minors this year but appears to be on track to reach the majors.
