Plumlee

How good is this guy? I loved his performance today, but obviously WIU isn't a very good opponent. I looked up his bio on hailstate...

Had an impressive summer. If that 94 is correct with his location, he could be a very good pitcher for us this year

I think he can be an effective pitcher for us but I wouldn't take too much away from a performance against Western Illinois.

[Todd4State]

Maybe he will be the pitching version of Brett Pirtle. He's younger than most JUCO guys- he only pitched there one year.

He did what he needed to do today- and if our bullpen is as good as I think it will be I think he will be OK as a Sunday/Midweek guy for us that we can get 4-5 IP out of. I want to see what Ashcraft does tomorrow. I'm really hoping he takes the Sunday spot.

Does he have 3 years of eligibility? Or just two?

There's your answer. Imo You can't relate baseball performances against opponents like football. 94 mph is exactly what it is.

He topped at 90 yesterday. Threw 88 most of game. Dropped to 87 late

3 years, but if you can't get a Senior season from a Vance Tatum, lets say 2

If he can stay at the knees like yesterday, that's plenty of velocity

Very Sexton-esque. Means location and movement will be the key.

This all day. Much like a high fastball. You'll get folks to chase and every now and then someone will catch up with it but it turns out an overall better product.
