Ex-CMU Josh Collmenter, baseball's axe murderer

+

MLB.com has a feature story on the Diamondbacks rookie righty, whose über-overhand delivery can be attributed to him being an amateur axe-thrower as a young rural Michigan boy. Imagine how effective Collmenter would be if he threw actual axes instead of baseballs. And think of how many catchers would go on the disabled list. Collmenter has four career wins, which is 139 fewer than Kevin Tapani, who has the most of any CMU alum. So he has a ways to go.
