Right hand pitcher Joey Volchko(Stanford)entered the portal with a do not contact tag.

He’s listed as the #15 draft prospect in 2026 according to Baseball America.

Anyone know if he’s had contact with LSU?

We're on him. His numbers are not very good, but obviously has major talent and worth a shot to get him right.

Giving up 1.12 hits an inning . He must have some talent though to be ranked so high for next year

His scouting report said he top out in triple digits and slider betweeen high eighties and low nineties seems like another chase shores

I read he has a no contact, which assumes he may be dialed into 1 or 2 possibilities.

Yeskie thrives with these pitchers. Develop another pitch or two.

Because 20 year olds can’t hit a 100 mph fastball teamed with an offspeed that’s 20mph slower

I gues if Greg Maddox walked through the door that would be ok too. Maybe you could show us where they're creating new Maddox's.

And oh, btw, it wasn't Maddox's velo that mad him special but his placement and how he set up his pitches.

Some of you on here wouldn't catch sarcasm if it punched you straight in the face.

Hey Lester worry about something else! Let the 2 time NC head coach recruit and coach who he wants to!

Clearly he wants an upgrade in academics so we should be the team to beat here.

You seem like a big fan of Greg so I thought I’d just let you know that his last name is actually Maddux.

Normally, I wouldn't even give a Cali guy a second thought but CJJ is the Cali recruiting king...

Yeah, he was clearly being saracastc. I think we are all fans of anyone throwing that kind of heat. I think I remember Lester being a bit hesitant or less enthusiastic on Mayers for the walks though. I say bring in the talent and see if you can do something positive with it.

It's interesting how Cam Johnson's control didn't really improve and he got even less appearances at OU.
