Portal Pitchers 2023 stats comparison

[bigbub50]

Holman (Alabama) (uncommitted) finished with a 3.67 ERA and a 7-4 record over 15 starts. Over 81 innings pitched, Holman gave up 54 hits, walked 31 and struck out 87.

Burns (Tennessee) (committed to Wake Forest) had a 4.2 era (2.9 as a freshman), 72 innings pitched, walked 22 and struck out 114.

Molina (Tex Tech) (uncommitted) Went 6-2 last year with a 3.6 era. 108 ks in 83 innings. 35 walks

Ligon (Miami) (Committed to State) pitched 52 innings. 44 hits. 4.8 era. 20 walks. 37 ks.

Does anyone know what type of injury Ligon had last year?

Does anyone want to research and report each guys fastball velocity and best off speed pitches?

Are we in on any other portal pitchers?

Have any of these pitchers had Tommy John surgery yet?

[confucius say]

We need Holman.
Ligon looks more like a Sunday type guy.

[Saltydog]

If Ligon is the best we can pull outta the portal we're in trouble unless Parker is the second coming of Leo Mazzone or Dave Duncan.

Would love to pull Mason Molina (portal entry from TT). He's from CA and will probably go back West, but maybe he's in play for us. 3.67 ERA with 108 Ks and 35 BBs in 83 IP while allowing a .208 BA. He and Holman could prove lethal.

Lemons does not need Parker to be Leo Mazzone. He just needs him to be ok. Foxy put a mushroom cloud on MSU baseball pitching. MSU was not just bad, the 2023 was an extreme outlier of awful.

(1) MSU is further on ERA to the 13th team than the 8th to the 1st.
(2) 300 average against in conference, again the worst
(3) most hits, most runs
(4) Double the conference runs than Alabama and 100 more runs than the 8th best staff
(5) most walks
(6) most HR
(7) most wild pitches
(8) 2nd most Hit Batsman
(9) tied for worst versus LH hitters (323!)
(10) only 12th versus RH hitters
(11) worst Vs Leadoff and with 2 outs

We should be thankful any pitcher wants to portal into Starkville.

Without Stinnett, Hardin, Enema, and Hunt, this team immediately improves with just decent transfers. Just need confirmed decent transfers. Decent is a huge upgrade versus atrocity-level 2023

I think Hardin is coming back. Don't know if he pitches a lot or will make the team but last I heard he's coming back.
