SAN FRANCISCO - Despite uncertainties as to whether a 2020 Major League Baseball season would happen at all, former USF baseball player and current Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Adam Cimber is firing on all cylinders now that the season has gotten underway.

In this episode of Dons from Distance, Director of Creative Video Katie Morgan sits down with the Dons pitcher. 

The two discuss his transition from University of Washington to the Hilltop, why he selected the Dons program as his destination for his final year of college baseball, and relive the USF baseball team's run to the 2013 College World Series. 

Cimber and Morgan go into detail about the origins of Cimber's unique submarine-style delivery and which Major League pitchers he has used as inspiration. They also examine the strategies utilized by Cleveland's advanced scouting and analytics department, which have helped Cimber tremendously in his professional career.

One of two former Dons on Cleveland's roster, and one of three on an active MLB roster, Cimber discusses sharing a locker room with one Zimmer brother, Bradley, and a division with the other, Kyle, who is currently a reliever for the Kansas City Royals.
