The way the whole line up has been this season has given me a lot to look forward to in terms of him going. I would really like for him to get to work with Villar. Phenomenal all around hitter.

Jack or Jim mixed coke and a lime is my typical cocktail drink order. Although Me and Jim go way back to high school, I will admit I am also new to the Bourbon world outside of that. I am looking to get into trying some bourbons that are good to drink straight. I don't usually like things neat so any suggestions that go well on the rocks would be appreciated.

That is a great place to start. To much emphasis on making the pitch and not realizing that the instant the ball comes out of the pitcher’s hand, he’s just another infielder. One that happens to be dangerously close. Not only does it possibly save lives, but it could win you a game or two in the end.

I can’t wait to see how the DL developes. Especially after this recruiting class. Although some of them will need a few years

This, plus I think UCF was just a means to an end for him. Some might say the same thing about USF and Taggart but why hold up the charade now?

I am starting to question this. I can't find anything on this kid. he doesn't show up on Max preps or Hudl from what I can tell. this is all I can find on him 2019 – Anthony Prospere, DB, Deerfield Beach

BULLS INCREASE TOTAL TO 75 GRADUATES FOR 2017-18

I am bringing my nephew up to the third hitting session that USF is putting on starting on Sunday. Has anyone took a player to the first two or maybe one from last year, I don't know how many years they have been doing it but I just wanted to know if anyone knew what to expect. http://collegebaseballcamps.com/usfbaseball/

Any innovators out there willing to take a crack at the type of protection Pitcher are asking for here? I can't think of way to protect the head of a pitcher without there some sort of discomfort. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2772992-just-so-i-dont-die-mlb-superstars-crave-more-protection

One for the all name team. 12 – Last: 12 Kumar Rocker HSRHP Notes: School: North Oconee HS, Bogart, Ga. Ht: 6-4 | Wt: 240 | B-T: R-R | Committed/Drafted: Vanderbilt

BA has him at 5 5 Last: 4 Shane McClanahan 4YRLHP Notes: School: South Florida Ht: 6-2 | Wt: 188 | B-T: L-L | Committed/Drafted: Mets '15 (26) Scouting Report: The top college lefthander in the 2018 draft class, McClanahan possesses some of the best raw stuff of any draft-eligible player in the country led by a fastball that can reach 100 mph. That number would have seemed absurd after seeing McClanahan prior to his senior season at Cape Coral (Fla.) High, when he was throwing a mid-80s fastball. But McClanahan went through a massive growth spurt around that time, going from 5-foot-6 to the 6-foot-2 he’s currently listed at and touched 94 mph at times during the spring of 2015. Three years later, and through his first 10 starts of the 2018 season with South Florida, McClanahan is regularly in the mid- to upper 90s with his fastball and has used that pitch to help him lead the country in strikeouts per nine innings (15.02), with 94 strikeouts in 56.1 innings. At just 188 pounds with a lean frame that could still add more weight, McClanahan doesn’t get that sort of velocity with a huge, muscular build but instead with a lightning quick arm out of a low, three-quarter slot in a delivery that some scouts describe as high-effort. In addition to his fastball, McClanahan has a mid-80s changeup and a slider, both of which project as plus pitches down the line although the changeup is currently more consistent than the breaking ball. McClanahan isn’t without warts, however, as he already had Tommy John surgery, which sidelined him during the 2016 season, and is regularly erratic to the plate. McClanahan has a history of being more of a thrower than a pitcher at this point, with more than five walks per nine innings through his first 10 starts in 2018. Durability will be a question mark with McClanahan as well, as many college pitchers around him on draft boards have a much longer track record of performance and summer history. Still, the pure stuff he offers from the left side is a rare commodity and one that teams at the top of the first round will likely pounce at given the opportunity this June. McClanahan offers the potential of a top-of-the-rotation southpaw if everything breaks right and he improves his control and command. Assuming good health, a worst-case scenario for McClanahan would likely be taking on the role of a shutdown reliever. Baseball America top 500 prospects

I'm not sure if Bobby Cox would be the type to show an emotion either way. Especially if he is scouting for the Braves. He probably just would have liked to have seen him last longer in the start. Also, if he watched him on March 23, it wasn't a very good showing. USF vs UCONN 3/23

I’ll make you a deal. I’ll just assume anything you post from here on out, is not intended for me to read or respond to, and I’ll do the same for you. That way TBP doesn’t have to deal with this anymore.

My piss poor arguments are twice as good yours. I’m not even sure what your argument is. One minutes stats exists for a reason, the next minute, If you look at the stats you’re looking at them in a vacuume. It’s a hard to follow.

And you’re amazing at making excuses for pitchers

High school and college are two completely different animals so our discussion on SM is completely irrelevant. Hey if think the kid amazing by all means

The struggle to get kids recruited is real......for some

its a very common practice. We use Game Changer which makes it a little harder to cook them. I think a lot of schools are going that route because it keeps a much more in-depth look at the numbers and you can manage who can see them, you can also have them automatically uploaded to max preps but they can obviously be edited because the score book doesn't get uploaded.

You can trust these numbers all you want to. But i've seen how they get put in and I just don't think we live in very honest society when it comes to trying to get ahead.

A quick calculation would put his whip at about .78 ( 39 hits, 12 BB, over 70.2) which is pretty good. but again, as team they have 46 E's as a team, so you have to question how many were truly E's. he averages 8 k per 7 innings. again pretty good, not out of this world.

No one said "all", just enough to pad the numbers. Of his 7 unearned runs who's to say that five of them were earned just not put in that way? I've said throughout this whole thread that he does seem to be pretty good. But I don't think we have the fourth best High school pitcher in the state (which is where his ERA ranks). We probably have closer to a solid top 20 pitcher in the state ( which is where his total runs against ranks and strikeouts would put him). Meaning he is a quality D1 recruit, not a guy we should worried about losing to the draft. But again they are all just numbers that someone put into a website, nothing more.

This was going to be my next point. all the number are put in by someone who is biased, in some way. To put it in perspective, 63 FL pitchers have sub 1 ERA's and 179 nationwide. Are we really going to assume there are that many stud pitchers? Runs against is good because the scores have to be officially put in so its harder to go around that number, although some do by just not inputting in the stats part.
