New Commit for the Class of 2013
RHP Trey McNickle (JUCO) from St. Petersburg College
Some comments from Whittle:
RHP Trey McNickle (JUCO) from St. Petersburg College
Some comments from Whittle:
quote:
He is a side armer that stands 6-foot-5 and about 200 pounds. According to the NJCAA website, he's 0-2 with a save this year. His ERA is 2.01 with 18 Ks in 31.1 innings. When Esposito saw him yesterday, he pitched two innings and got five ground balls and a pop out, which is what a side armer is supposed to do.
quote:
McNickle throws predominantly a fastball and slider but also mixes in a changeup, which is rare for a sidearm pitcher. His fastball is 82-84, which is average for a side-armer. The slider is good. The changeup is basically a slow fastball thrown in the mid-to-upper 70s. He's a walk-on with a chance to come in and compete right away for a roster spot. There will be for side-arm guys trying out next year with Hunter Privette, Austin Hill, and Kris Nelson. I can't see more than two guys being kept but that will be figured out later.

Some more write ups I missed on other recruits for the Class of 2013
LHP Cole McMillan:
RHP Tyler Haswell:
RHP Preston Johnson:
LHP Josh Reagen:
LHP Cole McMillan:
quote:
McMillan is committed as a walk-on but is also a player who could be a future gem. He has split time between football and baseball during his high school career but will focus on baseball going forward. He has a fastball that ranges from 82-84 and a big curve ball. If he can make a jump in velocity, he could be a big contributor before his time at South Carolina is over.
RHP Tyler Haswell:
quote:
South Carolina recently picked up a commitment from Tyler Haswell (Lawrenceville, Ga./Peachtree Ridge), who stands 6-foot-1, 175. I didn't expect the Gamecocks to take another player in the 2013 class but the right guy did come along. Haswell is a guy who can run his fastball up to 91 but will hover around the upper 80s right now. He is a strike-thrower that has a plus-changeup. Head coach Chad Holbrook has scouted him before and he had a good summer in the East Cobb organization. Sammy Esposito saw him a couple of weeks back as well and he jumped off the page with his performance
RHP Preston Johnson:
quote:
Like Caldwell, Johnson signed with Winthrop out of high school and things just didn't go very well for him there. He transferred down to Chipola and became a very different pitcher. The coaches scouted him during fall games at Chipola and a lot of big colleges came calling. He chose the Gamecocks over Miami and others.
LHP Josh Reagen:
quote:
Reagan used to be committed to College of Charleston but decided to open things back up when CofC went from the SoCon to CAA. He's regarded as the top left-handed pitcher in the state. He's a low-80s pitcher and will creep up to around 84.
