  1. His Dad played for Tom Holliday at OKSt. So respects the college game. All State catcher in high school. Caught some his freshman year, iirc. Catcher is an issue you gurus (said with respect) haven't addressed. Schuessler is having a pretty good Summer at Heraldsburg (CCL) hitting .282 with alot of PT Galvan has not received much PT as catcher at SBF mostly DH and !B and hitting .115. Need Guillemette. Summer ball can be an outlier, either pro or con. Guillemette hit about .200 at the Cape but had a solid year.
  2. Tuned in to watch Tanner as he was scheduled to pitch (Chatham vs Cotuit). Announcer stated Tanner returned home for the draft. Good Luck to him. Game has been delayed by fog.
  3. https://und.com/sports/softball/roster/season/2022-23/player/joley-mitchell/ Impressive ! Hometown Rose Bud, Ark All ACC 1st Team, 15-17 SB's Perhaps Arkansas was not interested or NIL. Arkansas' hitting was not good last year.
  4. Piqued my interest. Thought there may be a La connection. Allen JUCO is in Kansas. Mitchell made his commitment to the Tigers since sophomore year, and it's taken Sinton and his family to get there. He plans on studying Sports Management at LSU. Mitchell's dad played college baseball for Allen JUCO and then McNeese State, so Mitchell has an experience coach in the family. "It's been me and my dad you know," said Mitchell. "He's been my hitting coach, my everything coach pretty much my whole life. Me and him just growing up and really getting me to shape the player I am today." https://www.kristv.com/sports/friday-night-fever/sinton-baseball-players-ink-national-letter-of-intent-includes-nations-top-catcher
  5. Happy for Molly ! Didn't realize she was from Iowa. Just got married a few months ago (nice story, with photos link 1). Always liked her demeanor and attitude. https://www.theknot.com/us/molly-jacobsen-and-robbie-mccargar-oct-2023/our-story In her year playing with the Longhorns, Jacobsen recorded a 14-6 record with 76 strikeouts. Her team also made a Super Regional appearance that season, The Iowa-native also brings experience in the Southeastern Conference. She totaled 19 wins, five saves, and 230 strikeouts with a 2.53 ERA over two seasons in Oxford. "Molly is an upcoming star in our profession," Anderson said in a press release, on Friday. "I've always admired her work ethic and determination in her playing career, which has carried over now to her coaching career. She has been mentored by some phenomenal softball minds in our game and I look forward to sharing the bullpen with her and our pitching staff." https://abc17news.com/sports/2023/07/07/mizzous-larrisa-anderson-adds-to-the-softball-staff/
  6. Texas Coaching Tree Congratulations to Nadia Taylor (Houston) and Kaitlyn Slack (Kansas) who have been named assistant coaches. Nadia was at Michigan St last year, Slack a volunteer asst at Kansas. Suppose Mike White will soon name a third assistant. https://uhcougars.com/news/2023/5/29/softball-hires-taylor-to-coaching-staff.aspx https://kuathletics.com/mcfalls-promotes-kaitlyn-slack-to-assistant-coach/
  7. Tenn just approved a major upgrade of their baseball facilities to be completed by 2025.
  8. Very happy for Tanner, good showing at the Cape - needed that for the draft. Chatham's manager/head coach is Tom Holliday (Texas pitching coach '04-'06).

  10. Courtney graduated in May, good for her !
  11. Tolle had a 97k's in 85.2 inn, 97/19 K/BB ratio, .245 OBA (lowest on staff) 4.62 ERA not impressive, but a definite take. Tougher competition but Saarloos is one of the best. OU, and I am sure others, really wanted Tolle (from Yukon, Ok) but TCU NLI won the day. Sorry, if already posted:
  12. Congrats on a great run. Impressed by Jay Johnson's demeanor and ability to keep the players focused as a team. Like most Californians, he is very cerebral and articulate. He does have a unique style where he seems to make all in game decisions (including calling the pitches) without input from his assistants. At least as portrayed on TV. Will be interesting to see who replaces pitching coach Wes Johnson.
  13. Jacques Doucet, Baton Rouge sports reporter, states Thatcher Hurd will start. Fan boards say the same.
  14. @Storm the Field Thank you for bringing sanity to a thread which was once a source of good info but is now a political discourse.
  15. No idea on the recruitment of Isa Torres. @Js1 may know. Google tells me she was committed to aggy to play with her sister, Mariana. However, her sister transferred to McNeese after the coaching change. Viviana Martinez put up simillar numbers in Arizona. She was just selected to play on Team USA in the Japan Series. Similar high school numbers also for Goode, Scott, and Washington. That said, FSU Coach Lonni Alameda (one of the best) doesn't waste scholarships. Following a standout freshman campaign under fifth-year head coach Mike White, Texas' Viviana Martinez has been selected to a Women's National Team (WNT) to compete in the 2023 Japan All-Star Series slated to take place from August 4 to August 7 USA Softball announced Thursday. https://texassports.com/news/2023/6/22/martinez-selected-to-represent-usa-softball-in-2023-japan-all-star-series.aspx

    From Miami's fan forum. Walter is the Wake Forest coach, JD Arteaga is the pitching coach. Would like to see Tulo, but difficult to get a P5 job with no ties. From @scane : Rogers finally posted his ‘scoop.’ He says it’s between Pollard and JD with Walter maybe entering the mix. Tulo has faded away. Obviously, we have a more reliable source saying not JD. He says resolution could come relatively soon.
  17. Thatcher Hurd is a stud who finished the WF game, 47 pitches on Thurs, Skenes 120. Florida's Caglianone threw vs TCU on Wed (85 pitches) Problem is he has a 85-52 K/BB ratio. Not good.
  18. Don't know about the schedule talk, but I do know I am about to dress in a pair of burnt orange gym shorts and a blue polo. Don't let us down !
  19. Not sure which thread is appropriate, but AAS published schedule for the Summer League to see Jabari, Allen, Carr. And Wembanyama when watching Jabari.

  20. Chris Gordon, our Asst for Hitting Pitching Development, was pitching coach at Duke when Santos was recruited from high school. May explain the connection. Will see what develops.
  21. Piqued my interest also. Checked her on the WF website during the delay. Impressive. Team ERA 2.84, all the starters under 3.00, no injuries. Seems to be working. Kristen Nicholson, PhD, joined the Wake Forest pitching lab staff in October 2018 as the director of the lab and lead of biomechanics research. She earned her undergraduate in Mathematical Science from Clemson University in 2010 and her MS and PhD in Biomechanics and Movement Science from the University of Delaware in 2015. Dr. Nicholson wrote her dissertation on a mathematical model for measuring scapular motion and became an expert in upper extremity biomechanics. While at the University of Delaware, Dr. Nicholson was the project lead on a collaborative project between US Figure Skating, the University of Delaware, and C-Motion (a biomechanical analysis company). The project was designed to facilitate the performance of triple and quad revolution jumps by Olympic and pre-Olympic skaters. For three years before coming to Winston-Salem, Dr. Nicholson has worked as a biomechanical research engineer at Nemours/A. I. duPont Hospital for Children in Wilmington, Delaware. During this time she augmented her clinical skills while developing her own research interests. She earned an ACCEL Mentored Research Development Award and subsequently secured grant funding from the Scoliosis Research Society. Dr. Nicholson has a particular interest in the development of non-invasive tools and methods for assessing kinematics and implementing scapular kinematics in baseball pitching. Dr. Nicholson is currently an Assistant Professor in Orthopaedic Surgery at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. She has over 20 academic presentations, 15 peer-reviewed research manuscripts, and a book chapter. She is looking forward to leading research in the pitching lab. Originally from Clover, South Carolina, Dr. Nicholson now resides in Winston Salem with her husband Jefferson. undefined Baseball Roster - Wake Forest University Athletics (godeacs.com)
  22. May prove to be an excellent hire in prep for the SEC. Replaces Clay Overcash who resigned and was on initial staff. Butler also was an asst for Van Horn at Arkansas and word was was offered the hitting coach job at Texas in 2013-2014 but received the offer for Wichita St.
  23. Remember Minchey's Dad is a former MLB player. Likely talked with Woody about the future. Per Perfect Game, Minchey will be 21 for the '24 Draft. https://www.perfectgame.org/Players/Playerprofile.aspx?ID=868575

    Real mystery on his decline (and the WVU Team) at the end of the season. If anyone can help him, that would be Saarloos. Congrats on a great run ! Good luck at the CWS !

    Very early, cursory search indicates no Texas players at this time. Rosters are not always complete and change during the Summer. https://capecodbaseball.org/teams/ccbl/ (Cape Rosters)
