From David Lombardi's twitter feed:
Doesn't get any better than that, baseball postseason run notwithstanding. What a run. Plus the Stanford strikeout record. Congrats to Mark, and I look forward to seeing him lift the Astros out of their current predicament!
Quote:Mark Appel developed cut down on walks, increased strikeouts behind improved slider and a 3rd plus pitch, the changeup, this year .
Essentially, Mark Appel executed return to school perfectly: earned Stanford degree, improved, potentially picked up ~$4 million more.

Just came across this bit of trivia: Appel went to high school with Zach Ertz. And they both played basketball in high school.

Dawkins could have used both of them this season, I think.
