At the time, his fastball was clocked at 93 mph, but it fell off to the high 80s this spring amid concerns that O'Sullivan had bulked up in his upper half while using controversial Tom House as a pitching coach."</p><p><a href="http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/2005draft/draftdayblog.html">http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/2005draft/draftdayblog.html</a></p><p>Bad lesson costed his velocity (FYI, House coached Prior, Hamels and is now a pitching coach for USC Trojans). &nbsp;For the sake of this guy, I hope he got a better lesson with minor league coaches</p>
