So are we throwing Holman against Texas?

He threw 77 pitches in 7 innings of work. He doesn’t have amazing stuff, but he seems calm and collected out there.
6 days and some hours seems like enough rest that it wouldn’t mess up the rotation.

I think Jay will stick with Hurd since we are still pre-SEC. It’s a different type of pressure (some say less) when you are on the road and Hurd did really well last year in some big situations.

I hope so. Holman is the best pitcher on staff right now. Hurd should be Sunday guy moving forward.

Holman would be on 5 days rest if he goes on Friday.

Hurd clearly has it in him to be as dominant as any pitcher. He proved that in Omaha when he held that potent Florida offense to 2 runs on 2 hits & 7 Ks through 6 innings of work in the championship game.
The thing about Hurd is, you don’t know if you’re gonna get 2023 championship game Hurd……or 2 1/3 innings with 6 hits and 2 walks Hurd.

Especially this early in the year it’s easier to move guys around arms are still pretty lively.

Holman is the best option for Friday vs Texas.
Out of the 3 games. Friday is the one I want to win the most. I can live with losing to Tx State and ULL before I could with losing to Texas.
Bring Holman out. Get the dub and let Hurd go for the W vs ULL

Holman does have amazing “stuff”. There is more to “stuff” than velocity and spin rate. Having multiple pitches, being able to hit spots at will with those pitches, and pitching inside and out all qualify as amazing “stuff”.

Start Jump, then go Ack, Guidry.

Jay won't make the decision based on the opponent. He'll make the decision based on rest days and the plan moving forward. I think we see Hurd again on Friday but I wouldn't be surprised by anything.

This probably isn’t a criticism, but a few stats from last year:
WHIP- 1.05
Season BAA- .186
SEC BAA- .191
87K in 81 innings of work.
31 walks
ERA- 3.67
MLB.com ranks him the #35 prospect available and be #17 pitcher.
Other notes on his scouting report:
quote:
He was the best pitcher on the U.S. collegiate national team last summer, striking out 15 in eight scoreless innings.
quote:
Holman's fastball usually ranges from 92-96 mph and plays better than its velocity because he commands it well and rides it at the top of the zone with quality induced vertical break. His best pitch is a low-80s slider that he also locates well and features two-plane depth. He also has an upper-70s breaking ball with similar shape and curveball velocity but doesn't have the same feel for it or a sparsely-used mid-80s changeup with some fade and sink. Holman has a high floor as at least a No. 4 starter because he throws consistent strikes with three solid or better offerings. He already shows aptitude for sequencing his pitches and mixing locations.
In defense of his “stuff,” he’s striking out over a guy an inning and walking someone less than every other inning while they hit sub-Mendoza. He’s almost certainly never going to win a Cy Young or go #1, but he seems to have “figured it out” better than anyone else on the staff, and as a sophomore looked good. I’m stoked to see what he is doing to do the rest of this year.
