At one point, Andrew Walling was at the top.
Throwing mid-90s. Big opportunities. A path that looked like it was only going one way.
Then it didn’t.
Injuries, pressure, and the weight of expectations started to take over. Confidence slipped. The yips showed up. And for the first time, he questioned if he even wanted to keep playing.
