re: LSU Baseball Commit Jared Poche

No he's not related to Colin Poche from Arky. I live and Gramercy and know the family. He's a big strong kid with really good stuff. Hits the shite out of the ball on top of being a stud on the mound. He just struck out 12 yesterday in a playoff game win 14-2. Current LSU pitcher Joey Bourgeois also went to Lutcher, and well as the pitcher from SELU that threw a no hitter a while back, Jordan Hymel. Lutcher has been breading pitchers for the last few years. Another stud on the staff this year is Corey Merill, he signed with SELU.

As far as an outlook on Jared, he's a got a little work to do with his breaking ball, it tends to get away from him at times, but when it's on, it's nasty. Solid mechanics and a strong arm. He's really good at working himself out of jams and can pull off wins even when he doesn't give his best performance. Rarely pitches and doesn't go all 7. His pick off move is actually one of the best i've seen, personally, from a left handed pitcher. All in all, he may need a year or two under his belt before he makes an impact, but with a little work he'll be a stud for LSU.
