STARTING PITCHING
Kevin Gausman So. *
Ryan Eades So. *
Kurt McCune So. *
Cody Glenn Fr.
Joey Bourgeois Jr.
By far LSU's most talented position, for tiger fans...great news. Last season when Mainieri was forced to use these three freshmen for a majority of the season he knew there would be a great learning curve. All three had their struggles as well as their moments of greatness. With Gausman you have arguably the most talented pitcher in the SEC who will fight for the lead in total strikeouts this season. His fast ball has been sitting roughly 94-96mph thus far but will pick up latter in the spring. It will also most likely be Kevin's last year in an LSU uniform as it is a forgone conclusion he will be a top ten draft pick in the summer...something Mainieri knew when he got Kevin to stay with LSU. Ryan Eades is finally at full strength after his high school injury and hasn't looked better. After being named one of the best prospects in the cape code league after holding a 0.84 era in over 30 innings Ryan will work his way back to becoming that potential 1st rounder he was three years ago. Kurt McCune, LSU's Friday night guy in 2011 will probably find himself in the Sunday role to start the season...more good news. Kurt is going to be the Tigers change of pace starter as he doesn't throw nearly as hard as the other two, rather focuses on spot location with a mix of his two offspeed pitches. Although the weekday starters have yet to be determined I'd look for Cody Glenn the talented lefty out of Texas to start to work some innings here as well as Joey Bourgeios who is back from arm surgery. How well Glenn pitchers early in the season could land him the role as the top LHP out of the bullpen.

if we can get the bats going this should be a really good team.

Looks like a damn firing squad! I think it will be one of the best rotations in the country this year.

The only things I disagree on are:
McCune gets excellent movement on all of his pitches. I believe he has more movement than the other two. Also, McCune by far has the best control of his pitches. To me, he was the best starter last year and definitely the most consistent. Gausman hit between 98-100 last year. I don't know how that isn't top of the charts.

But is he doing it consistently is my only question.
Gausman will start throwing harder and harder as the season warms up as will his arm, but I'm not ready to label his velocity as "The best it can be" just quite yet so early in his career.

I disagree with the both of you. Of the 3 the person with the most movement is Ryan Eades.

Shocked to see McCune move to Sunday.

Cant wait to see T Moore tear it up! Been a while since we had a contact hitter from the 1B position.

Adam, is there any reason to start McCune on saturday and sandwich him between Gausman and Eades to throw hitters off balance since he is a different pace than the other two?

Not really a big deal as it may look on paper.

The potential for our weekend starters is scary. We could be dangerous.
