re: LSU Baseball Scrimmage 4: 10/9/14

If anyone cares to know:

Strall (the sidearmer) topped out at 82 mph today... And he hasn't look great locating pitches.

Cartwright looked better on the mound today than he did earlier in the week, so did Domangue.

Scivicque is really struggling both at the plate and behind the plate.

Zardon is still seeing the ball very well as is Chinea, Hale, Laird, and Bregman.

Byrd has been a pleasant surprise at the plate as well. He's seems to have gained some size over the summer and has filled out a little. He's done a solid job at 2B.

None of the pitchers have been lights out with Ks. There have been very few swings and misses. This is either good or bad depending on your POV.

Stevenson isn't squaring up many pitches like he did last year. To me, it looks like he lowered his hands to be more in the middle of his chest, and he's not starting out with a flat bat like he used to. Not sure if this was a recent change or a summer league change.

Pap has been the most solid catcher with Chinea close behind. I haven't seen Bryce behind the plate yet. It seems they're content with keeping him a 1B.

Fraley and Robertson have had relatively quiet falls so far. Hits here and there.

Deichman started very slow at the plate but has has had much better ABs these last two games even if he doesn't have too much to show for it. He's adjusting to 3B on the college level. Not quite there yet.
