Good arm. Should def help
Losing Groff and likely to lose the guy from Air Force now hurts. Thank goodness Ledbetter is having a great summer

I'm interested to see if Skenes visits us again as well. I wouldn't be surprised if that happens.
The biggest thing it gives us is roster flexibility. Before he committed our only LHP option that was proven was Pico. Now we can potentially start Pico and it also means we have more than one LHP option.Quote:

Of course when he is locating on either corner, he is pretty impressive. But?. I think he is a middle reliever and will stay a middle reliever unless we go to a similar program we had a few years ago piecing together outings 2 trips through the lineup per pitcher.
I'm not penciling him in a rotation spot but I do think he will compete for one. Same could be said for Davis at this point.Quote:

Him as a freshman last year, was pretty much a learning and adjustment season. I expect he will be improved; I think he will be a decent pitcher moving forward.Quote:

I think he's referring to his FB velo, which does need to improve for him to take the next step.Quote:
