    I bet even Rooker and Renfroe pitched 3 innings per week in HS.
    Considering renfroe pitched here, I'd say so.

    Rooker pitched some too, so did Tommy Raffo.

    Stevens is a top-50 national recruit because of his expected field position contributions. Should have been Kellum Clark of-2021 by now.

    I'm not pitch-forking on this topic, with zero depth pitching for SEC Sundays, the staff was probably hoping he could be a 30-40 inning contributor. Pico is needed on Sundays.

    Versus OM, going to need decent outings from Siary, Ligon, and Holcombe. I would say awesome outings, but OM has worse pitching issues, just need to be ok. It's like Scott Foxhall is coaching in Oxford these days.

    Open question, are Dotson and Loftin unavailable these days?

    Numerous scouts disagree w that premise. Said his swing was too long and liked him
    More on the mound. Now, w that said, I don't dislike him as a hitter. Just pointing out some things. He can help on both sides.

    Fair enough- but I don’t see anything special in his arm. If he was a Righty he would be pitching at Co-Lin
    Walk like the King or walk like you don't care who the King is

    About the same long lefty swing as Clark and Hines. You could say, about the same as Freddie Freeman. People used to say "sweet swing" in reference to LH power swing. Will Clark was pretty long too and WC hit for Average and Power.

    I am not a lefty, but seems pretty typical raw lefty power swing. In the Youtube link, he looks more compact than he has appeared for us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHAZX_747GQ

    Just making a joke, but I see no "hitch" like Shotgun used to say about Rowdey.
