i saw this on BA and want to post it if ok.
Adam Dunn and Joe Borchard
Dunn and Borchard could have opposed each other as quarterbacks in Texas’ 69-17 demolition of Stanford in September 1999, but Dunn committed full-time to baseball that spring. Borchard followed him a year later, and they were U.S. teammates in the 2001 Futures Game. Dunn reached the majors shortly thereafter, while Borchard currently is in Triple-A trying to tighten his strike zone, one of Dunn’s greatest strengths. Few players can exceed their raw power.
Borchard On Dunn: "He’s a great player. He has a tremendous amount of tools and a really bright future. I could see how people could see similarities, but he’s produced a lot more than me and he’s doing it in the big leagues. I’m trying to develop plate discipline, and he has it already. I’m chasing a lot of bad pitches and striking out. That’s certainly something I’d like to have. It certainly would help my game."
