Just from what I’ve seen so far, starting pitching depth could be our Achilles heal. Townsend and kmatz started yesterday so I will lump them together. Townsend was 88 and kmatz touched 91. Secondary stuff was ok. Neither you had the stuff to miss location. Any misses were hit hard. Kmatz had 5 or 6 balls hit to into the warning track and gave up a homer. Outfield was working overtime. To me they are not weekend guys in the pac 12. I’ll touch on a couple other guys. Verburg was good sat 89-91 and located his slider, he will be our closer I believe. DJ carpenter, big kid 6-8 , 240. Touched 93 with good downward angle. Battle through a couple rough spots. Has a little bit of Michael stutes strut on the hill. They would like him to be the 8th inning guy. My concern is if Frisch’ s problem becomes long term I haven’t seen an answer yet, also it will ask a lot of hjerpe and pfennigs to go deep every game because lack of a solid Sunday starter. It’s early, maybe cy young is down there in the bullpen and we just haven’t seen him yet. Right now I would not be comfortable going into a regional with what’s been shown as the back of our rotation. Need 5 solid guys to give yourself a great chance. Again way early and this is not a knock on any of the guys just an assessment of what I’ve seen so far. Lastly anyone on the fence about coming down here in February to watch the beavers I would encourage you to come. It’s addictive. To paraphrase an old joke the difference between coming down here in February to watch the beavers and doing cocaine is after doing both it’s easier to stop doing cocaine

You know your pitchers are in trouble when the grounds crew rack the warning track between innings...

To paraphrase an old joke the difference between coming down here in February to watch the beavers and doing cocaine is after doing both it’s easier to stop doing cocaine I kind of disagree. With pitching, it’s really hard to judge anything after one game or a couple innings. So I’m not writing off Townsend, and I think Kmatz showed enough good to get some starts midweek as he develops into a weekend pitcher. I think you’ll see that we have more than enough guys we can depend on to throw strikes, and some great talent putting things together. I was mostly impressed with where our pitching staff is right now given the losses from last year. Should be fun watching them work this year. |

Ive always thought that the Beavers have had an advantage against the teams in the south because we normally throw a lot of soft, crafty, strike throwing lefties at you. Im not sure im a big fan of moving to the big body/hard thrower guys. SEC teams can hit a fast ball. Feel like we are getting away from what made us a great program, on the mound.

I agree! The SEC teams seem to have a hell'va time trying to hit Junk braking stuff.

Don’t you know how this board works. You’re supposed to call me an idiot and question whether I’ve ever seen a baseball game. . ….. but to your point you might be right, I hope that you are I just didn’t think their raw stuff played up well enough to be consistent good |

To paraphrase an old joke the difference between coming down here in February to watch the beavers and doing cocaine is after doing both it’s easier to stop doing cocaine Thanks again beavaristotle for the great pitching report....good stuff! I am interested in one guy you haven't mentioned who is local to my area and was dominant on the mound for South Salem in HS going 7-0 as a Sr.-(also played shortstop when not pitching)-2nd team all-state pitcher as a SR. and drafted by NYY in the 26th round in 2019....That is redshirt freshman Ryan Brown....I saw in the box's that he pitched a 1-2-3 inning day 1, and then pitched 2 innings in the last game going 1-2-3 in his first inning and then giving up 2 hits and a run in his 2nd inning with 3 K's overall. What did you see from him and what was he throwing? |

What did you see from him and what was he throwing? brown touched 92 and looked solid. Worked ahead and wasn’t any hard contact. I didn’t mention him because I wasn’t sure of his role but he’s definitely got to be in the mix |
