He grew up in Madison. He's played with, or against, many guys on our team. We have an open outfield spot. If he wants to pitch some there would be an opportunity. I agree Montgomery makes too much sense and we absolutely have to get him.

Stephens is in

The new Auburn PC is a guy named Everett Teaford, who was the Minor Leauge Pitching Coordinator for the White Sox before coming to college.

And? Seems like AU is the landing spot for a lot of State guys that weren't very good at their jobs.

76 innings. 72 hits 66K, 30BB as a Soph. I'll take it.

5.21 ERA in the Big 10. That's probably a ERA of 7 vs SEC hitting. Assume Parker improves him, now we're at an ERA of 6ish. Seems like a Sunday or even midweek guy honestly

He?ll need to get his BB?s down some which our entire staff will need to do.

Welcome aboard Stephens!

He doesn't walk that many. Only 30 in 76 IP this year. He just got hit hard in a few games.

Add another one to the Lemon train. All aboard. Whoop whoop.

At this point, take as many pitchers as we can get. I don’t care what their ERA is in the big ten. We need arms and can figure out the rest later.

Stephens will have a better year than Holman. Why? Because I said so and 17 LSU. Hail State.

2.73 ERA in 9 starts in Cape Cod this summer. That?s encouraging

Yes.

Some pitchers can and do improve as they get older. We are hoping for this for a lot of our 2024 staff.

Heck if nothing else we can use Stephen as a pinch runner dude is 6.7 in the 60.

Did not know that, it's definately encouraging. Cape has real hitters

Stephens was crushed in two games Indiana and Ole Miss. Outside of that, the ERA was 3.30.

But he was the Purdue Friday night guy. At MSU, he is long relief. He would not be extended or expected to eat innings versus a bad match-up team.

Either way, he's definitely better than Tapper/Davis/Siary so every inning he pitches will be improving the bullpen

Wouldn't throw Siary with that bunch. His stats this summer:

7G 34.2IP 23H 5ER 5-0 1.30ERA 11BB 34K
