There was all kinds of good stuff going on the second Friday of the college baseball season:
Gerrit Cole's start was suspended after 1 inning due to rain. Well, THAT wasn't good!
Vanderbilt edged Stanford 2-1. Sonny Gray- 6 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 4 BB, 6 K's. Oh yeah, Austin Wilson went 0 for 4. Jason Esposito went 1 for 3 with a CS.
TCU topped CS Fullerton 4-1. Matt Purke's start was pushed back to Sunday due to a blister, but TCU's Saturday man, Kyle Winkler stepped up: 7.1 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 K's. Winkler reportedly has good stuff, but typically low K's, due to lack of a wipeout pitch. He's reportedly working on a slider that may develop into a K pitch. Noe Ramirez got touched up early, but had a good line for CS Fullerton: 6 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 BB, 8 K's.
Texas blanked Hawaii 2-0: Taylor Jungmann- 9 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 9 K's. Jungmann now has two consecutive CG shutouts with 18 K's and just 1 BB.
Danny Hultzen, LHP, Virginia: 7 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 15 K's! Hultzen also hit cleanup and went 3 for 4.
A couple of pitchers raised their stocks a lot as Texas A&M outlasted Gonzaga 1-0 in 11 innings. John Stilson was A&M's closer last year: 9 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 9 K's. He reportedly has a FB that goes 91-94 and a wipeout changeup. His line over 2 starts is 15 IP, 1 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 18 K's. Ryan Carpenter is a big LHP, 6'5", 225 lbs, with a low-mid 90's FB who hasn't been able to get results on the field. Last night he went 7.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 10 K's.
Oregon's Tyler Anderson tried to got 1 inning too long as St Mary's scored 3 runs in the 8'th for a 3-2 win. His final line was quite good though: 7.1 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 3 BB, 12 K's.
Long Beach State edged out Arizona 2-1. Andrew Gagnon, LBSU: 7.2 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 7 K's. Kurt Heyer, AU: 7 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 0 BB, 4 K's.
GA Tech stomped St John's 13-0. Mark Pope: 6 IP, 6 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 7 K's.
UC Irvine dominated Southern 6-1. Matt Summers, UCI: 8 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 9 K's.
Sam Gaviglio of Oregon State pitched a CG 2-0 shutout against a very good Connecticut team: 9 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 10 K's. Gaviigo had a down year in 2010 after winning Freshman All-America honors in 2009 with a line of 10-1, 2.73, 62.2 IP, 9 BB, 55 K's. He slipped to 3-4, 5.60, 62.2 IP, 23 BB, 45 K's in 2010. He did have one 13 K game in 2010, so we'll see if he can sustain it this year.
Here's a sleeper to watch out for: Nick Tropeono is a 6'4", 205 lb RHP from Joe Nathan's alma mater, NY Stony Brook. Last year he went 8-4 with a 2.44 ERA while striking out 106 in 99.2 IP. Last night, he went 6 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 8 K's in Stony Brook's first game of the season.
Sophomore Dan Langfield of Memphis: 7.2 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 4 BB, 16 K's. Had 47 K's in 39 IP as a freshman.
Sophomore RHP Chris Beck of Georgia Southern: 8 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 12 K's.
Season line: 1-0, 1.38, 13 IP, 3 BB, 19 K's. He's a burly 6'3", 220 lb
My man Ricky Oropesa went 1 for 3 with 2 BB's against Rice and one of my sleepers, Brandon Meredith went 2 for 4, 2 2B, BB for SDSU. Watch out for freshman 3B Kris Bryant of San Diego who went 2 for 4 with 2 dingers last night. Bryant already has 3 HR's on young season.

Thanks for great work on your college blog. We watched Taylor Jungmann pitch last night on TV here in Hawaii. Too bad, he'll be long gone before the Giants draft. He's impressive 6'6" 195 lbs with a low 90's fastball and most of his 9 k's came on what looked like a 12 to 6 curveball. He spotted his fastball very well last night..
ReplyDeleteYup, Jungmann will be long gone by the time the Giants draft. Sounds like he's the type of pitcher the Giants look for though, great fastball command!
