Does the baseball team have a legit closer?

Evans

I mean Casan Evans has gone 9 innings, all late game situations, allowed 5 base runners, 0 runs, and struck out 16. 3/3 in save situations.

Think he qualifies for now.

It'll either be Casan Evans or Gavin Guidry

Rizy has the potential but is probably a year away

Tell me you haven’t watched a single Evans outing

Yes

Closer, as an independent role, has long been devalued in baseball

LSU has 5-6 guys that will earn saves and most of the guys can pitch multiple innings, except for maybe Guidry

Hard to move a pretty solid starter to the closer role. I mean in regionals and supers they will say use the game one starter to close a game from time to time. Not generally a normal thing. Have you not watched Cassan evans pitch? Like others say Dorsey has a shot Guidry can get you 3 outs to end a game most of the time. I think this team has more options to close a game than any other I can remember at this very moment. Eyanson pitched lights out Saturday for 6 innings he wasn’t great in first inning but got straight. Be crazy to put him in the pen. Others are showing to be erratic just like last year. Mayers is good but will get wild Rizy too. Stuff is there control is not there all the time.

still scarred over that UNC/LSU game last year where Jump came in in the 9th to close out the game to send us to a home super regional and we blew it

Me too!! I didn’t like it.

We’ll find out in a couple weeks
