Big one today.
First pitch at 5 PM on SECN+.
Key Players from last night:
- McConnell: 3/3, BB, 2B, HR, 2 RBI
- Young: 3/5, 2 BB, 2 HR, 4 RBI
- Netterville: 2/5, 1 HR, 3 RBI
- Fincher: 1-0, 5 IP, 1 ER, 2 hits allowed, 2 BB, 10 K
- Bullpen: 4 IP, 0 ER, 1 hit allowed, 6 K
Pitching Matchup Tonight:
RHP Ryan Jennings (Tech Debut) vs AJ Labas (1-2, 3.55 ERA in 2020)
Labas will be 89-92 with his fastball, nothing overpowering. Decent shape to his slider, solid change-up. Strike thrower. Labas has one career appearance against Tech. On April 10, 2018, he went 6 shutout innings against the Bulldogs. He allowed 2 hits, didn't walk or strikeout a guy, 63 pitches.
Notes on LSU:
- Tigers only have 2 players in Top 50 draft prospects in the SEC. Absurdly low for their standard. Jaden Hill and Landon Marceaux, they won't pitch tonight.
- IF Cade Doughty is the 11th ranked prospect in SEC for 2022, C Alex Milazzo is 24th, OF Mo Hampton is 31st (doesn't start), SS/3B Zach Arnold is 34th, SS Collier Cranford is 47th (doesn't start).
- OF Dylan Crews is the rated as the top freshman in the league (he's 4/8 with a HR in first two games), 1B Tre Morgan is 13th (he's 3/5 in 2 games), OF Brody Drost is 22nd (hasn't played), RHP Blake Money is 33rd (1 scoreless inning), SS Jordan Thompson is 39th (0/2 in one game), and RHP Ty Floyd is 41st (3 ER in 0.1 IP in 1 game).
- Talented team but extremely young.
Key Players:
- OF Giovanni DiGiacomo -- speedy OF, slap hitter-type, can really run when he gets on the bases
- OF/ DH Cade Beloso -- dropped 25 pounds in off-season to be able to play the OF, has some pop from the left side
- OF Dylan Crews -- appears to be a really good young hitter, crushed a ball into left field bleachers in 9th against AF yesterday
- 1B Tre Morgan -- more of a complete hitter than Crews is at this point, sprays the ball right now, will develop more power the older he gets
- RHP Devin Fontenot -- he'll be 93-95 from the right side, everything is hard, comes right at you
- RHP Trent Vietmier -- max effort guy, will touch 93
- RHP Matthew Beck -- fastball will barely touch 90, good 12-6 curveball
Should be a fun match-up tonight.
