Big midweek game for the Diamond Dogs starting up Tuesday night when #4 Ole Miss comes to town.
Games Time:
Tuesday - 6 PM on CUSA.tv
Pitching Probables:
Tuesday - LHP Cade Gibson vs TBA
Mike Bianco's club comes to Ruston at 13-3 overall. The Rebels took 2 of 3 from ULM over the weekend.
Many believe that Ole Miss is the actual best team in America.
The Rebels were picked to win the SEC West in the preseason.
Top 2021 Draft Prospects:
RHP Gunnar Hoglund
LHP Doug Nikhazy
Both of those guys are weekend starters. Likely won't see them against Tech.
Top 2022 Draft Prospects:
C Hayden Dunhurst
RHP Derek Diamond
OF/LHP Trey LaFleur
2B Peyton Chatagnier
Top Freshmen:
SS Jacob Gonzalez
RHP Cody Adcock
Top Hitters:
3B Tim Elko - .351, 7 HR, 24 RBI, 6'4, 235-pounds, big right-handed power bat, played 1B and RF last year, moved to 3B this year, has handled it fairly well
LF Kevin Graham - .345, 4 HR, 19 RBI, has really worked hard to become a more complete hitter and use the opposite field
C Hayden Dunhurst - .313, 2 HR, 10 RBI, really good left-handed hitter, double-digit power potential
SS Jacob Gonzalez - .311, 2 HR, 10 RBI, lanky, strong wrists, will show enormous power in BP, still tapping into some of it in game action, has made 5 errors at SS thus far
1B Cael Baker is a big-right handed hitter, 260 pounds, tons of power, but he's struggled so far, only hitting .206 with 1 HR, 10 RBI.
Top Pitchers:
RHP Braden Forsyth -- has struggled early, closer type, will be in mid 90s, wipeout slider, has issues throwing strikes at times
RHP Wes Burton -- 6'8 right hander, 91-94, extreme over the top guy, good curve & slider
LHP Luke Baker -- freshman, will be 89-92, good slider
RHP Josh Mallitz -- started their last midweek game, freshman, he's wirey, up to 93 at times, sharp slider
Rebels also battling some Covid issues. So Wednesday is for sure cancelled, we'll see if they show up Tuesday night.
