Tech will travel to FIU for the final Conference USA series of the year. First pitch of the series is set for 6 p.m. Thursday night on CUSA.tv.
FIU is 22-30 overall and 11-16 in conference play. They are currently in 9th place in the conference standings, which puts them on the outside looking in for the conference tournament at the moment.
Top MLB Draft Prospects (rank in CUSA, draft eligible year):
3B Austin Shenton (#2, 2019) -- .326, 7 home runs, 45 RBI
RHP Nick MacDonald (#14, 2019) – 4-4, 4.00 ERA, 72 IP, 89 hits allowed, 16 BB, and 64 K
C Javy Valdes (#19, 2019) -- .265, 8 home runs, 30 RBI

C Jose Garcia (#6, 2020) -- .303, 11 home runs, 42 RBI

OF Adan Fernandez (#14, 2020) -- .189, 5 home runs, 18 RBI
RHP Greyson Fletcher #18, 2020) – 2-1, 12.06 ERA, 15.2 IP, 32 hits allowed, 11 BB, and 13 K
Impact Freshman:
SS John Rodriguez -- .185, 1 home run, 7 RBI
RHP Franco Aleman – 3-4, 4.15 ERA, 60.2 IP, 70 hits allowed, 19 BB, and 48 K, will likely start the series finale
OF Chris Williams -- .197, 1 home run, 5 RBI
OF Jarrett Ford -- .277, 0 home runs, 14 RBI, 16 stolen bases
1B/RHP Angel Tiburolo -- .231, 0 home runs, 4 RBI, 2.22 ERA in 28.1 IP
Weekend Rotation:
Thursday: LHP Logan Allen (4-5, 3.04 ERA, 77 IP, 67 hits allowed, 24 BB, and 110 K) – best pitcher in the conference if you ask me, he’s a sophomore, low 90s, wipeout breaking ball
Friday: RHP Nick MacDonald (4-4, 4.00 ERA, 72 IP, 89 hits allowed, 16 BB, and 64 K) – can bump it up to 94 with his fastball
Saturday: TBA
Key Relievers:
RHP Angel Tiburcio (0-1, 2.22 ERA, 28.1 IP, 17 hits allowed, 16 BB, and 28 K)
LHP Will Saxton (0-3, 3.12 ERA, 26 IP, 18 hits allowed, 17 BB, and 27 K)
RHP Jan Figueroa (0-0, 3.43 ERA, 21 IP, 21 hits allowed, 10 BB, and 17 K)
Best Hitters:
3B Austin Shenton (#2, 2019) -- .326, 7 home runs, 45 RBI
C Jose Garcia (#6, 2020) -- .303, 11 home runs, 42 RBI
C Javy Valdes (#19, 2019) -- .265, 8 home runs, 30 RBI
Overall:
Burroughs has always said that FIU has the most “talent” in the league and when they decide they want to show up and play hard that they can beat anyone.
When you look at them on paper, his theory supports that.
I’m not really sure what I think about them. They are 22-30 overall and the schedule hasn’t been all that tough by any means. If Tech plays good baseball, they should win two of three.
