DVH announces weekend rotation:
Friday - Hagen Smith
Saturday - Will McEntire
Sunday - Hunter Hollan
Assuming Hollan does live up to expectations, I really, really like this starting rotation.

Outside of these 3 guys, there's still a lot of potential in the pen. Some good transfer arms, some good freshmen arms, and a couple of veterans. Lots of options

I’ll be very curious to see what we get out of Tygart this year. He’s been picking up a lot of pre season accolades but he sure did fall apart down the stretch last year. Hoping maybe he just ran out of steam being a freshman.

Of course this was before Jaxon had to get TJ, but DVH already said this is the most arm talent he's ever had.
I know the baseball gods will smite me for this, so I apologize beforehand to all that require...
But honestly I trust that weekend rotation more than if Wiggins was in it.
I don't want to discount the major steps pitchers can take in Jaxon's position, especially at Arkansas. All Isaah needed to do was control his 2 seamer in later innings and he became a stud. All Wiggins would have to do is throw, literally, any off speed pitch for a strike past the 2nd inning and he would take 5 steps forward.
But it is what it is. Mac doesn't have filth but he has very good effectiveness. Hagan will depend on his stuff after the 5th. And Hollan has shown it elsewhere but pitching in the SEC in baseball is different. SEC commotion is overrated in most sports... not in baseball.
We'll see soon. Inject this into my veins.

I feel like there's usually a freshman who just lets it all out and doesn't think much. Then they start doing well and it's a mind game for them.

Thank God for baseball starting.
After the suckage by the basketball team. I know there's not a lot of hype around the baseball team this year, but it's nice to have baseball back in general and get to know the new faces in the every day lineup.

That's when you know you have a great program. Not a lot of hype, which is true, and we're in the top 10

The best revenge would be to go out and put up some crooked numbers against him.
