Stony Brook's defense & specifically.. Jankowski

Several balls that LSU hit seemed like they would fall but Jankowski got them. They either had LSU well scouted or Jankowski is really fast or both. He seemed to cover the entire outfield. And.. there S.S. was good. Made a great catch on a line shot late in the game Sunday.

Jankowski is fast, but more importantly he was properly positioned for every batter. Great scouting.

I know the ball Rhymes hit to the wall in game 3 I thought was in the gap he got to it with ease. I watched the replay and they had him shaded perfect... Well coached team...

The correct answer......they knew the only hitter we had that wasn't dead pull was Nola.

Yep....although there were already enough nails in our coffin to keep us underground that was the proverbial "final nail" I believe.

Agree... One time.. I think Rhymes was at the plate and Jankowski was shading to LCF and that's exactly where Rhymes hit... He didn't have to run far that time.

did you not see jankowski playing CF behind the SS on a deep line out to the LF/CF gap? I think it was Rhymes.
He is fast but they also had us scouted pretty well and their OFs were shading our hitters to certain fields.

It seemed like there were 4 outfielders instead of 3!
In the early innings, I would think "Yes that's in the gap!". In the later innings I stayed in my seat and thought "He's gonna get to that one too."
But it really made me miss guys like Mikie Mahtook and Jared Mitchell.

It was so frustrating

They obviously had a lot more film on us considering we were on TV a lot and they never were

In baseball, a lot of times the ball doesn't go where you want it to go. Stony Brook was an obviously better team, but for a pitcher to be smacked hard so often and only give up three hits is a bit of an aberration. That's why the majors play 162 games.

I think there WERE no gaps when we were hitting...how many flyouts in game 3, at least 16?
Posted on 6/12/12 at 12:13 pm to GA Tiger
Didn't there short stop have like 3 over throws to first?

That's the difference between a 1st round draft pick outfielder and our undrafted outfielders.
He's a special talent as was Mahtook.

He probably had to become fast and learn how to read stuff out running cops while moon shining in the hills

no. that's all about the benjamins. 154 games was good enough for 80 years before.

Outplayed and outcoached. They were just better.

They were well positioned.....The camera showed the coach lining up his outfield quite a few times. Then you would see the catcher make the pitch call accordingly.

I think the amazing thing about their players is the development they make in college.....from what I can find online neither Carmona nor Jankowski were drafted out of high school like many of LSU's high profile guys like Mahtook, Gausman, etc.
Given the scope of HS Baseball that MLB scouts have that says something about the SB programs ability to develop these guys. Although I think someone posted on here that Jankowski grew 2 inches and gained 20 lbs in his time at SB which made him a small SOB when he got there I'd imagine cause he ain't real huge right now.

Give the pitchers credit, too. The defense was positioned in part in anticipation of pitch location. If an off-speed on the outside corner was called and the defense was shifted to the opposite field side in anticipation of a hitter driving it the other way, I'll be dang if their pitchers wouldn't hit the loction every time.
Their positioning would have looked bad if the pitchers missed their targets and were wild over the plate and the hitters were able to drive the ball away from where the defense was shifted.
