You don't give millions to someone who can't throw strikes. If that was the case every college pitcher would be in the minor leagues.

Clearly regressed since arriving and that's a coaching problem or the stage is just too big for him and he needs to transfer elsewhere to LSUE.

It evident by reading this comment that you haven't watched him pitch. Nobody says he can't throw strikes. His fastball is legit. His command of slider and curveball is improving by still needs work. He.also hasn't been stretched out longer then an inning so far, but you idiots want to put him out there game 3 against Arkansas. What will any SEC team do to a guy only throwing fastballs? They will get rocked.

Are you also to dense to understand highschool potential vs being a professional pitcher? In highschool guys rely on talent with a little bit of coaching. When they get to LSU's pitching lab the coaches show them exactly based on science what they need to do to become the best pitcher possible and it takes a little while for guys to make that adjustment with arm angle, body alignment, etc.

Skenes even attributes LSU pitching lab with his senior season 2 to 3 mph jump on his fastball. C. Johnson is in great hands and will be a great one. But sending him out with one pitch to get rocked by Arkansas won't help right now.

Last night was a big step since he showed control of his breaking stuff in live action work.
