For as good as an athlete as Jake is I’m surprised he hasn’t tightened up and become more consistent with his windup. At times he still falls off early towards the first base dugout cutting off his follow through, other times he seems to drift toward the plate causing him to be late with his arm. When he’s right there is a lot of upside there. I say you just draft him and hope you can get his best out of him through consistency. Are far as going or staying, he will never rise high enough to get life changing money. Best come back, get right, he will get a look even as a senior and make his money in the bigs

They really tightened him up and the consistency is really impressive. |

They really tightened him up and the consistency is really impressive. I want to see him get his confidence so that the ump doesn't rattle him. He's gotta keep his composure and find another way to get the out. I think he kept trying to find the edges of a zone that weren't there. |

So no way Pfennigs goes top 15 rounds right? Do we even want him back? Should have been pulled after the first inning. Not sure why we wasted Lattery’s long reliever ability for 1 inning of mop up… a.) without a good performance in Omaha, if Beavs go, given his 2022 season, he may well may NOT be selected in the draft. But - there's always free-agent signings for players that wish not to return for another year of College BB. b.) Hell yes we want him back! He would be a great addition to the staff which could possibly (..but not for sure!) be assembled from: Kmatz, Hunter, Townsebd, Boisvert, Mundt (he told me in Surprise that he'd be back), Ferrer (doubtful), Carpenter, Thorsteinson, Frisch (?), Hibbard, Lawson, 7-footer Cope, Brown, Quinn, [Crewe - Case - Larson...if they make the roster], and incoming Freshmen: Tyler Gough (a 2022 Corvallis Knight), Issac Hill, Aiden Jimenez, Nelson Keljo, Rhett Larson and Gibson Marshall-Inman. |

C’mon. You really think he won’t be drafted? That would be shocking. |

C’mon. You really think he won’t be drafted? That would be shocking. Actually, I don't "think" one way or the other. I'll leave that to the MLB scouts and GM's. I was only responding to the question: Do we even want him back? Answer: Yes As far as draft-ability....I think of Jake Mulholland. He had an up and down OSU career - much of it up, including All PAC-12 1st Team his final year and 2nd Team All-American that same season. His senior year he had a .198 BAA and a 1.04 WHIP. He went undrafted. It's so hard to predict who will and who will not be drafted. I know that Pfennings has that mid-90's potential and all....but there are (a hundred?) pitchers out there in college that have proved themselves to a greater degree. |

If we can keep them all, we'll have a nice bullpen. I'd love to have Ferrer back for another year. I liked seeing all of their progress through the year. That was something we don't normally get to see much of. With summer ball, I expect a robust pitching staff. Are any of the incoming guys lefties? I guess that's our weakness right now. |

Two lefties in the class. We should have a more seasoned Case and Van Larson should be back from injury. Who knows what we will pull from transfers too. With Hjerpe going it’s gotta be a priority for the staff. |

Based on what I was told last night by someone close to the situation, the expectation is that Hjerpe will start. The expectation was that Hjerpe was gonna start yesterday. So much for expectations. Sorry. The whole "someone close to the program told me" doesn't hold much water on an anonymous message board. Cooper is in the lineup tonight. |

Mully topped out at about 87 mph. Phennigs tops out at about 94 and is a very thin 6’7” with the frame to add muscle. There’s no comparison. He will be drafted. |

I would be pretty shocked if Pfennigs did not get drafted
