Justin King used to think pitchers were dumb. Growing up exclusively as a hitter, the Okotoks Dawgs alum always thought they only wanted to throw fastballs, so he would wait on a hanging slider or curveball so that he could send it flying.

Joe McFarland, of Alberta Dugout Stories, recently connected with King to talk about the young left-hander’s path to pro baseball.
