(thru Friday’s results)

JJ Wetherholt is heating up ���

 With this jack, the 2024 Draft prospect has homered in back-to-back games. WVU Baseball

                                 Aaron Fitt @aaronfitt

 My report from Morgantown: Derek Clark showed his huge heart and went 9 innings for the 4th straight start, and superstar JJ Wetherholt looked more like his old self in Saturday's win vs UCF, as WVU Baseball looks more & more like a Big 12 title favorite:

 JJ Wetherholt coming out of the game after getting drilled in the ribs in the 10th inning.

 Between his on-going hamstring recovery, the fact he's DH-ing and just got plunked, I'll assume this is mostly WVU trying to get as much speed on 1B as possible in a tie game

 

Jac Caglianone. NINE straight.

The 2024 Draft prospect ties the all-time NCAA record for contests with a homer.

 

Joe Doyle @JoeDoyleMiLB

What Jac Caglianone is doing this year in college baseball simply shouldn't be possible. In an entirely separate stratosphere than the entire college baseball population

No. 21 for Braden Montgomery. No. 4 in his last 5 games.

Charlie Condon is a cheat code, man. 24 homers already. This one a moon ball at 108 mph.

                        Ben Badler @BenBadler 

24 home runs in 36 games is bonkers

2024 C/RHP Connor Lane (Old Saybrook HS, CT)

The Super 60 Alum (‘24) took the mound yesterday afternoon. The UConn BSB signee can bring it!

FB: 91-94 T95

CB: 74-76 (good shape + spin)

 

MLB Pipeline @MLBPipeline

12 homers in 9 games

2024 Draft prospect Nick Kurtz is on an absolute TEAR.

516 feet?!? Seven straight games with a HR?!

Jac Caglianone demolishes this one over the scoreboard for a monstrous projected distance

 

Tyler Jennings @TylerJennings24 

Time for the pitching highlights from last night: 

Drew Beam struck out five across 6.2 IP on 106 pitches. FB held 93-96 all night (T97), CB was 80-83 with varying shape, leaned upon heavily. Gained feel for mid-80s CH late and flashed a CT at 88-90. Pure workhorse starter.

 Luke Holman took a no-hitter into the sixth despite not having his best stuff. FB has carry at 90-93, though the SL was his best pitch. 80-84 with more gyro shape, racked up a few whiffs. Bigger CB in mid-70s, flashed splitter in warm-ups. Command was streaky, however.

 LSU is scratching back, as Tommy White nearly clears the party deck in RF with a massive two-run HR. Got a CB middle-middle and did not miss it. Have always loved his power, future plus that plays to all fields with ease. He's just outside the first round for us

 Tommy White clears the party deck

 The 2024 Draft prospect -- who eclipsed 20 homers each of the past two seasons -- now has 12 big flies on the year.

 

 Kendall Rogers  @KendallRogers

 Ethan Petry had a big day -- a home run, two hits and three RBIs as Gamecock Basebll rebounds from the A&M series with a road series win over Florida. As for the Gators, they are officially in scramble mode.

 

Joe Doyle @JoeDoyleMiLB 

No. 20 for Braden Montgomery. How often do you find a prospect with this kind of bat speed from both sides of the plate. Special. 

Oregon State 2B Travis Bazzana was hit by a pitch in the hand and was removed from the game. He now has his hand wrapped in what appears to be a soft cast. Hopefully just an ice pack, but obviously worth monitoring.

Nick Kurtz cannot stop nuking.

No. 14(!!) in his last 10 games.

 

Teddy Cahill @tedcahill 

Tim Corbin on Jac Caglianone: 

"I think he's pitchable. You throw four balls away from the plate and walk him. 

"He's a unique guy inside this conference. I don't know. In all the years I've been coaching, very few like him."

 

JJ Cooper @jjcoop36 

College teams play 5 times every 7 days with 35 player rosters. 

Pro teams play 6-7 times every 7 days with 26-29 player rosters (and callups/demotions if they have a doubleheader). 

Travel ball tournaments for 8-12 year-olds will play 6 games in two days with 14-player rosters.

Got a chance to see one of the bigger risers in NJ yesterday against a tough St Augustine lineup. Plus arm speed. FB up to 94 multiple times in the 1st (95 on at least one scout's gun), sat 90-93. Flashed sharp breaker
