"Even though I started playing baseball when I was six years old, I didn't start pitching until senior year in high school. To be honest, I was more of a football and basketball guy until I broke my leg my last year," said Stripling, a junior from Southlake, Texas. "My doctor told me I couldn't run for four to six months, which went into baseball season. When I started rehab, I would get bored at [baseball] practice and starting messing around on the mound. It was then that I started pitching, big cast on my leg and all."
Interesting beginning to his baseball pitching careerl
