He has work to do but for some people it could be one little thing that makes it all click. The K numbers tell the story on the potential. Just need to get the consistency and the best way to do that is innings.

Consistently fell behind overmatched hitters who until this series had not practiced outside.

I'm taking into account that his fall and spring stats combined he threw 25 innings with 37K/12BB against what I would consider pretty good hitters.

1. Stanfield - LF
2. Curiel - CF
3. Brown - RF
4. Arrambide - C
5. Yorke - 1B
6. Milam - SS
7. Pearson - DH
8. Caraway - 3B
9. Simpson- 2B

Going against a LHP so thinking Jay might go with matchups at DH and 2B and start the RH hitters.

Casan Evans, Cooper Moore, and William Schmidt is the likely opening weekend guys.

I'd say Jaden Noot, Cooper Williams, and Zack Cowan probably still in the discussion.

Marcos Paz and Raegan Ricken will probably take the William Schmidt approach from last season and start some midweeks with some spot work out of the bullpen on weekends.

Basically will have to look at the staff as a whole and not really treat any of them as starters that can get you through 7. Will be a lot of 5 inning outings and then another reliever trying to bridge the gap for 2-3 innings to get to someone like Sheerin, Guidry, or Fontenot to close the game.

On LSU website it looks like Ryler Smart is no longer on the roster from the fall and John Shahrdar who was trying out as a walk on in the fall has been added to the roster.

Will have to wait it out and see. At this point last year we did not know Kade Anderson was going to be what he ended up and we did not think Eyanson would turn out to what he did. On the flip side we did think Shores had the potential to be top notch ace kind of guy.

That said you looking at probably 7-9 guys who will push for starts with the obvious of Casan Evans at the top of the list. I think other than him you can look at Cooper Williams, Cooper Moore (Kansas ace transfer), Reagan Ricken (Freshman), William Schmidt, Jaden Noot, Marcos Paz (Freshman), Zac Cowan, and maybe even Maverick Rizy. Plenty of options until it all gets figured out.

Now that a lot of the craziness of the football coaches hire is finished up today seems like a good day to post the stats accumulated from fall ball scrimmages. These stats are based off of Scuba posts. I'm sure the numbers aren't 100% accurate but they are close enough to have an idea how some of these guys falls went. Remember that a lot of fall baseball is about tinkering with mechanics and development so you can't look into these numbers as a sure thing on some of these guys if they aren't great. Could be working on specifics that may have their numbers skewed.

The color code for pitching is just the way I see guys roles on the pitching staff as of now.

Typically through the fall you would be correct, but this is the Tutko vs Chief/Purple vs Gold world series scrimmages. They do a draft and they are the same teams throughout the weekend for these scrimmages.

Dude has tree trunks for legs. LH Bear.

I would assume you are correct. He is not on this team. I don't think he was granted any extra eligibility.

Last season, he was a redshir,t so I think he can't have a lesser role.

Exactly my point. He can still be the hype man and good locker room guy.

It will be crucial for Serna to be able to contribute to help keep Arrambide fresh. If Arrambide continues to progress his bat will not be able to come out the lineup on weekends. Could play 1B or DH on the days he is not behind the plate. Offseason workouts/conditioning and during season recovery will be huge to keep Arrambide productive at the plate.
