by Alec Busse • EMAWOnline – Lead Reporter – @Alec_Busse On how Will Howard as changed I think it’s a materialization of his work, time, how he has broken his game down, attacked the process and how he has continued to improve. It’s him out on Friday morning before we leave to go to TCU getting a 30 minute throwing workout on his own. If there’s one of those, there’s 100. He’s developed true confidence.
