RELIEF PITCHING
Aaron Nola Fr. *
Nick Goody Jr. *
Nick Rumbelow So. *
Kevin Berry Jr. *
Chris Cotton Jr.
Joe Broussard So.
Aaron Nola, the 22nd round draft pick of the Blue Jays, was arguably Mainieri's top pitching recruit from last year. Tiger nation is going to see a good dose of Austin's younger brother on the mound when the season begins and rightfully so. Nola pumps the gun anywhere from 90-93mph on average and has great command of his offspeed stuff that I see him as one of the top guys out of the pen. Nick Goody, the 22nd round draft pick of the Yankees, and Kevin Berry oddly enough remind me of each other. Both very similar pitching styles...nothing over powering, mostly relieing on location as well as contact outs. Nick Rumbelow has made amazing progress since his arrival to LSU's campus in the summer of 2010. Has been working steadily on his command and fastball has reached 93mph with that nasty slider he has. Don't be shocked at all if/when Rumbelow becomes the full time closer. Chris Cotton is back as the bullpen's situational lefty in need of quick outs or lefty on lefty matchups. Joe Broussard's arm is coming along nicely as well, if Chris is not used mainly out of the pen I see him returning to the weekday starter position. I'll cover more of the pitchers tomorrow...

You think Chris Cotton is gunna be the mid-week starter? I thought I read somewhere that Nola was gunna start mid-week? That'd be awesome if Chris starts, We played high school baseball together and played against each other before that for several years.

Hey Adam, what happened to Jordan Rittiner? I know he had arm surgery last year, but is he done with baseball? Sorry if I missed something, but I have not heard anything.
Thanks for your time and work on this thread.

Have Goody and Berry really looked similar so far? Goody posted some pretty staggering strikeout numbers since moving to the mound less than two years ago.
ETA: 114 strikeouts in 84 innings last Spring, including 19 in one outing.
