No one is saying Jon Cuccias’ pitching success for California came through underhanded means. But the day he dropped down to a sidearm delivery changed the course of his career.

Cuccias went to Crespi High, where Coach Scott Muckey has turned several overhand throwers into venomous sidewinders.

Cuccias, a senior, should become Cal’s all-time leader in appearances. He has 95 appearances. The school record is 109.
