Chad Bradford

Chadwick Lee "Chad" Bradford (born September 14, 1974) is a former Major League Baseball (MLB) relief pitcher. He was well known for his extreme submarine-style pitching, and his success in MLB despite his unconventional delivery and the slow speed at which he threw the ball (his fastball was only in the mid 80-mph range). This led to him figuring prominently in the Michael Lewis book ''Moneyball'', which in 2011 was made into the film of the same title. Bradford is played by actor Casey Bond in the film.
==Early life==
Bradford was born in Byram, Mississippi. His father had suffered a stroke that left him partially paralyzed, so that he could only throw underhand when playing catch with his son. Author Michael Lewis speculates that memories of his father's throwing motion may have contributed to the development of Bradford's pitching style.〔Lewis, p. 223〕
Bradford went to Byram High School.〔http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/B/Chad-Bradford.shtml〕 Unlike most players who become major leaguers, he had not exhibited outstanding athletic talent through the early years of high school.〔Lewis, p. 224〕 But his high school coach suggested he try sidearm pitching after learning some tips about the approach from a professional player.〔Lewis pp. 225-6〕 This technique brought him enough success to get a spot on the teams of Hinds Community College and the University of Southern Mississippi.
