They will also test the potential hires on how they would describe the player in which they are studying on tape. Extra credit to those who describe Mariano Rivera as “Blue Collar” and A.J. Burnett as a “Naturally Gifted Athlete.”

I was hoping, after seeing the picture for this post, that whichever coach can do a spot-on Shatner impression gets the gig.

OMG, the Kobiyashi Maru test (there is no winning answer: it tests your judgement under extreme conditions-Love that movie!).

One overnight stay in NY = one free consultation from a professional pitching coach about our team’s problems. Sounds cutting edge to me. This sort of thing is probably done all the time in other businesses.

This really is a simple process- If they show them AJ or the FAT TOAD and their head explodes (not even an overnight wait) they’re hired.
