Early in the season I looked at a couple guys from Long Beach State, they have two sophomores in their weekend rotation. Haven't looked in a few weeks.

Jacob Mayers is a common name from Nicholls, he just walks so damn many people.

Evan Chrest from Jacksonville was a draftee out of high school and A-Sun freshman of the year, but his sophomore year hasn't been great.

ETA: I don't like having to go to the portal every year for starters, but I think it's still going to be necessary. We don't know what Shores will be like when he comes back. And we don't know if Herring is going to stick around or go pro. Anderson still needs some seasoning. Johnson still needs some work.

ETAA: I have to think South Florida makes a coaching change this offseason. Based on numbers alone, the guy I'd look at on their pitching staff is Chandler Dorsey.

This one will be a tricky decision if they are on him. One of the biggest issues with this current LSU team is how some of the more talented guys have issues throwing strikes.

Mayers was better last season as a freshman. He has been walking entirely too many like you said. Already has more walks this season than he did last season with around 15-20 less IP. The last few weeks they have used him in relief in the midweek games and starting him on Fridays. Not sure that is a smart idea on their coaches part. Seems less rest would only make the control a bigger problem. His pitch count makes it tough for him to make it through 5 innings with the control issues.

I’ve been perusing some PAC 12 rosters this morning, and decided to go look at the two Long Beach State starters. Myles Patton appears to be the better starter. He’s a 6’3” 200 lbs sophomore LHP with a mid-90’s fastball, and has 11 starts, 66.1 IP, and a 29.9 K% so far this season.
