MINORS FINAL, THURSDAY, 5/13/21: A new folk hero is in the works

[rico43]

For those of you who love a true underdog story, the Braves have one at Class A Rome. He is a right-handed pitcher named Coleman Huntley III, and the main thing to know about him is that he has started the season 3-0 with 7.1 shutout innings (including three hitless innings Thursday night).
As for the legend, consider this: he is 28 years old and playing professionally for the first time in 2021. After graduating from Division II program Point Loma Nazarene in 2016, he spent much of the next five seasons playing semipro ball for California-based National Baseball Congress teams like the San Diego Force, the San Maria Pea Soup and the Santa Barbara Foresters. But he is a big guy at 6-4 and has worked as a trainer for some very trendy strength training program called BioPitch.
So far, he has emerged as the winning pitcher in every pro game he's pitched in.

We have Colman Huntley III and Milligan. All we need is the Professor and Mary Ann and the boat is half full.

Any information about Huntley's arsenal or anything? Before I get excited trying to differentiate between 'folk hero that lights it up at Rome and then flames out at Mississippi because his stuff isn't actually good' and 'folk hero Evan Gattis who contributes in the majors.'

A cousin who lives out there said he was already known well as a gas thrower and a great instructor.
