He was never graded as a first rounder. That was woods. And he would come and sit. Not ready for sec pitching. Meaning woods isn't.Quote:

But you can get an education anytime. You can get an education online.? It just depends on what his goal is and what he wants to do. If his goal is big-league ball, he needs to get in as quick as he can."
The coach also implies Bruns is a 1 pitch guy. Fastball with a curve when he has to. The coach was Tanner Allen's coach too. Decent article.

Horrible advice. Statistics now show your odds are better going to college first.Quote:

He never approached that performance the rest of the summer as his control disintegrated to the point where he had innings rolled over at multiple events. He's doing a better job of finding the plate this spring and has more pure stuff than any prep left-hander available, though he's still an extreme risk/reward play."
"he doesn't look completely comfortable and stills wings balls off the backstop. Some scouts think his stuff can be good enough to make him a big league starter with below-average control, while others worry he could max out as a reliever difficult to trust in high-leverage situations."

Sounds like a left handed Cerantola...Quote:

Hey commerce, this reminds me of something I heard a while back that its harder to pitch to aluminum because the batter has a better chance of getting around on the inside pitch. So once they start pitching to wood, they find some extra zone to work with.. So if you are a great college pitcher, your already a proven commodity. Batters on the other hand have more to prove in adjusting to wood. Does this sound right?Quote:
