He is not playing this weekend. I think it's time to find a new role for him in the pitching staff.

That was his role in high school. Would be down right evil at the college level. A great reliever as well

I can’t tell if this was your intended title or if autocorrect changed Ginn to Gonna Either way it works

Haha, autocorrect.
Just Ginn leave it.
Just Ginn leave it.

I think he had lingering arm problems long before he came to state, which makes it even more puzzling why he didn’t take the first round money when he had the chance

This is what is so sad about all this. This is from the Clarion Ledger 2018
BRANDON — Scouts have been flocking to Brandon to see Mississippi State signee and premium Major League prospect J.T. Ginn pitch this season. In any given game where Ginn has the ball, Brandon coach Stacey Hester estimates there are anywhere from 15-20 MLB scouts in attendance.
With three appearances under his belt, Ginn is sporting a 1.08 earned run average in 13 innings of work. He's given up seven hits and just two earned runs. Of the 39 batters he's retired, 26 were on strikeouts.
In his last outing, Ginn threw a five-inning no-hitter against Pearl in a 13-0 victory. He struck out 10 Pirates and allowed just two to reach base on walks. He was hitting 99 miles-per-hour on the radar gun with his fastball, and his breaking pitches were 87 to 89 with movement.
They might want to start showing up even when he's not on the mound.
Ginn is on a tear in the batter's box — he's hitting for a .552 average in 48 plate appearances.
"I’ve been coaching for 30 years and he's the best kid I’ve ever coached and one of the best I’ve ever seen," Hester said.
But he's already halfway to his total in homers from a year ago, and Brandon (8-3, 2-0 in Region 6-6A) is four games shy of the mid-year mark in its 25-game, regular-season schedule.
"I think I only had one or two at this point last year," Ginn said. "But about halfway through that season, I figured my swing out a little bit and started squaring the ball up more often."
Ever since then, he's been a pitcher's nightmare, hammering 23 home runs in 33 games.
