Good question. Haven’t seen him in a bit, now that you bring it up.

It’s like using Justin Vincent in his later years when LSU had a bit too much momentum.

He had Tommy John and has "struggled" since coming back.

Doesn’t command his offspeed well, fastball is his best pitch but even with it, he doesn’t command the zone very well. Liable to give up walks and often takes him a few batters to get comfortable.

in reality, outside a masterful performance as a freshman against Oregon in the NCAAT, I never quite understood why people just assumed he was starting rotation material. While hurt, he was consistently viewed as the missing link to our starting rotation struggles in 2022. But if you actually look at his number in 2021, he posted a 5.79 ERA a 1.53 WHIP. He was never consistent as a pitcher, so I don't want to just blame his TJ on why he's not performing now.

It was telling how Primeaux got called to pitch on Sunday, instead of Hurd and Coleman.

Nothing against Primeaux, I think he can develop to be a great pitcher here. But in a game you really need to win they put in a guy that hasn't pitched much at all this year.

That's an indictment on how some guys that were needing to produce for this team absolutely did not make it happen. It would have been nice for Coleman and Hurd to make that needed next step.
