Jay and Ken are joined this week by former men's fastpitch player and current Bethany Lutheran College assistant coach John Oothoudt (or Johnny O as most people call him) to talk about his playing days in Minnesota, what it was like growing up in a small town, how he got back into softball coaching through his daughter, and the benefits of being the boss when you're trying to balance a business career as well as coaching. He also shares what he looks for in a recruit, the kinds of players BLC is looking for, his thoughts on the current pitching rules, and how a non-pitcher ended up as a college pitching coach.
