    Bats, bats, bats

    I went to the scrimmage this afternoon, and in an attempt to keep myself entertained, I decided to document what brand bats each player batted with. Here's the list:

    There did seem to be a pool of Louisville Sluggers that some players just went a grabbed from and shared.

    Louisville Slugger
    Cody Brown
    Reid Humphries
    Nathaniel Lower
    Jack Kruger
    Jacob Barfield
    Luke Alexander
    Elih Marrero
    Hunter Stovall
    Luke Reynolds
    Brent Rooker

    Easton
    Cole Gordon

    Rawlings
    Michael Smith
    Tanner Poole
    Jacob Robson
    Jake Mangum

    DeMarini
    Josh Lovelady
    Ryan Gridley

    AXE
    Brant Blalock

    I had heard a lot of the players were using Rawlings bats. Either way, it will be nice for us to finally have our pick and put an end to the Adidas debate.

    I'll be honest, I could not care less what bats our players are using. That's not a shot at you, godlluB, I appreciate any info. Any thoughts on what you saw from specific players in the scrimmage?

    No offense taken, Smootness. I'm not trying to make any sort of point, it was just something to entertain myself and satisfy my own curiosity. Since I'd done it, I thought I'd share.

    Dakota Hudson was throwing serious heat, The Swan posted that he was in the 95-97 range in the second inning. There were around
    a dozen scouts at the game, including one from the Yankees and one from the White Sox. I counted 9 radar guns at one point.

    During pre-game drills, Elih Marrero looked good, better than Gavin Collins, in my opinion.

    When the took Hudson out, the replaced him with Blake Smith. I didn't stay long after he started pitching, but he looked pretty shaky. One of his first pitches sailed WAY over the catcher's head, hitting a support bar on the backstop they set up. I just looked at the box score, and he only pitched 0.2 innings, so I'm guessing he didn't get better after I left.

    Both Daniel Brown and Dakota Hudson pitched well. There wasn't much of any offense while ther were on the mound.

    Good stuff, thanks!

    I'm pretty pumped for baseball this year.
