    I remember several pitchers that seemed to make big jumps as Juniors or later(girodo, Hudson, Gordon, Stratton, Zach Smith), but I can't remember if any of them were basket cases before they figured it our or if they just needed to fine tune things and just get over the hump.
    I'm not sure who Zach Smith is but I do remember posters on various MSU message boards calling each of those pitchers busts and certain times before they put it together and writing them off. I remember people on sixpack calling me nuts for saying that Stratton would be a first round pick. Ethan Small had an ERA of over 11 I think his freshman year.

    I agree. Health is his biggest issue this past season.

    An improvement on hitting with RISP in 2023 and more than 1 save in an SEC games is critical. Either recruited new blood, veteran players stepping up, or immediate portal help. Best case, a combination of all three. Hail State!

    Liebelt made a HUGE jump his Jr. to Sr. year. An ERA north of 13 down to 2.96 with 5 saves 2 wins. And, although a non-pitcher, Skelton's jump from Jr. to Sr. on that same team was downright incredible both offensively and defensively!

    ETA: Was replying to Johnson85.

    Guy that may have had a coming out part in the governors cup and ended up being good by the end of the year? Big guy. I was thinking he maybe got kicked off the team after that year, but the only thing I can find is McQuary and that's not who I was thinking of. It's entirely possible I'm mixing and matching between different players.

    ETA: Zach Houston is who I was thinking of although it doesn't look like he was ever bad going by the stats. Looked like he had a tendency to blow up his junior year and the coaches may not have trusted him but he ended up finishing the season on a few strong outings where he pitched significant innings after only pitching one or two innings at a time before. Must have sort of mixed up my memories of him with some other pitchers.

    If we have a healthy Cade and a Healthy Hunt, that is a heck of a 1/2 or 2/3 punch. Then if we do bring in the Air Force guy, we have a down right nasty rotation for next year that I would put up against anyones… Just figure the bullpen out and look out…

    Next year will be worse if Lemonis is the coach. You think recruits are going to stick with Lemonis and Fox after these scores become widely known? Also, the better players are all going to bail on this dude, portal-out. Roster and Recruiting meltdown in the style of Nikki McCray Penson.

    Arkansas, LSU, Texas A&M, and Florida are going to take all the real players and the best recruits. Lemons is going to be fielding JUCOs with no other D1 offers next February.

    Lemonis needs claim health issues and just go. This disaster is High-Risk to wreck the roster and recruiting. It's like a death penalty. Should have fired him last year. Just the dang Manager, he's not the program.

    He meant Zach Houston. Drafted by Detroit after his very good 2016 season.

    Too bad sixpack changed their site this offseason... goat ridiculed the hell out of me for saying there's no way we would turn this around this season. Lemonis is a loser. He's trash. Throw out or burn the trash before our program becomes trash
