Tenn saw and hit him last year from what I recall.
Hitting him is about timing. He doesn’t have enough velocity to make it meaningful to sit anything but breaking ball.

He needs to be really accurate with the stuff he has. When he misses, it’s a meatball.

Meh teams know he’s a ++curve ball guy. His fastball isn’t good enough to beat anyone, they can sit on the curve and adjust to the fastball.

Time to move Guidry from the bull pen to SS position

also compiled an 8-0 record on the mound with a 0.16 ERA and 83 strikeouts and 11 walks in 45 innings …


Are those “not good” stats?

Barbe doesn't = SEC
He has good stuff when he can locate it. When he doesn't, he's done.

Guidry is going the way of matty ott.
Shame. Kid is likely a bust. But i wouldnt trade any of last year, so its a fair tradeoff

He was average at best last year. Blows my mind how people talk about him being a high leverage pitcher like he’s some lights out closer or something.

Guidry is 100 pounds soaking wet trying to throw to sec hitters. He’s not an sec level pitcher

Turns out 1 pitch, even a very effective one, aint enough to survive in the SEC. Who would have thunk it

Unfortunately, I saw this coming. Nuts > stuff can only work for so long. I knew after the league had seen him for a full year, his 2nd time through would be much more difficult. I still don't think he's this bad, though, and can have a role, but like others have pointed out, he just has zero room for error with what he throws. Nobody has to respect his fastball, and they can just sit off-speed. So, a cutter doesn't cut, a slider hangs, and they get pounded into the bleachers.

I do think his development has been stunted by injury. I think it's kept him from putting on some weight, which would help tremendously. With his frame, he should be able to put on a solid 15-20 pounds. Unfortunately, I don't know that he's healthy enough to put in the work in the gym that that would require. You've got to move heavy weight to gain significant weight, and I think (his back?) injury from high school still lingers a bit and moving that kind of weight puts him at significant risk of re-injury.

He didn’t come of the field saying “ All day”.

Guidry was a bit of a mirage last season. He gave up 3 home runs in Omaha.

His future at LSU is as a pitcher only.

He was stone cold for us last year but he did get shelled in Omaha.

I’m not sure his future is here. It’s a shame to say because he stepped up when we needed him.

???? He was unhittable in the largest classification in LA in the toughest district with the best HS team ever in LA.

Didn't seem to matter to Kevin Gausman.

Not saying Guidry is even on the same galaxy as Gausman, but weight doesn't really correlate here.
