Jack Bauer

[Todd4State]

So it sounds like he is coming along. Just casually throwing 100 MPH.

Too soon to know but I'm thinking there is a chance he may be able to help the baseball team out of the bullpen sooner than later.

I really, really like our top 7 guys without Bauer. Even if he can come in from the pen as a matchup guy, that?s huge.

[AlSwearengen]

I saw a tweet that he pitched 2 innings today or yesterday and that he topped at 101. That is all that was said though.

[cheewgumm]

Sounds like more than a matchup guy

Lefty at 101

Ummm

First inning- with a runner placed on first he allowed a stolen base and a walk and had a wild pitch. But then he struck out Chance who as we all know is hard to strikeout. His second inning was better. Gave up an infield hit and then got a double play.

So, a little wild but more good than bad. Not much hard contact.

Nothing to make think- oh he is ready for the rotation. But I could definitely see him being ready to potentially be a factor out of the bullpen by the spring if he continues the progress he is making.

I do too. It's going to be interesting to see where they all fit into the rotation and the bullpen.

Which is great for Bauer because we don't have to rely on him right away. Foster pitched pretty well.

Our pitching should be much better than it was last year. We have a legit Friday night guy in Volinicus. McPherson is a future MLB guy. That's a good foundation. Just have to see who emerges among Stone, Foster, Kirk, and Burns. And then we have Ben Davis who is pretty reliable and Tyler Pitzer who is a SEC veteran who is a safe option at closer.

[ZedFedder]

Not to mention Pitzer was the Cape pitcher of the year.

When does fall ball end?

[Todd4State]

When does fall ball end?

November I believe.

[Todd4State]

I wouldn't be surprised if we end up platooning Vytas Volinicus and Blake Bevis platoon at first base.

Gehrig Frei has been working hard at second base.

[AlSwearengen]

If Frei can make the routine plays at 2B and hit like he did last year, that’s a nice move; although, Sanders was one of our more consistent players last year.

Todd, any idea on how the kid from NCState, Woodson has been doing and where he is playing?

Woodson has been playing SS mostly for us. He has been doing well defensively.

He played third this weekend w sanders being the other ss.

My bad. I thought I heard he was at SS.

[Thick]

Are there certain days that they scrimmage? I would love love to catch a scrimmage or 2 before it ends.

NVM, games tomorrow, Friday, & Sunday

For you baseball guys that get inside info and know how to decipher what is going on, I’m looking at you Homedawg.

Who of the new guys are standing out? I’m mostly talking freshmen, but I’ll take any information about any of them.

Besides Bauer-

Tanner Beliveau was sitting 95-98 with his fastball. Not expecting him to be a big part necessarily next season. But could definitely see him potentially as a major factor in 2027.

[Homedawg]

My bad. I thought I heard he was at SS.

To be fair it's just been this weekend. He's been at ss before th is week so you weren't wrong just saying we are looking at different options.

I think the class is really good. Really good. But I can't see any of the tr fr hitters starting. Spot play at most. Our lineup is full of veteran guys and more than one at each spot. But Mershon, Parker both look the part. Bauer clearly has upside through the roof. I'd just be patient as Todd has Mentioned. The guy who has been a surprise to me is beliveau on the bump. He's be legit. Rhodes is also good. Again great class considering how few of players in it.
