We need to be careful with Lange. I am very glad hat Maneri
is being cautious with Lange and his usage.

Our 4 best ever past freshman pitchers Laxton, Shultz, Mestapey and
Off all tailed off in their college career. The first 3 had arm problem
and Ott just lost his edge.

Nola was solid as a freshman but gave little indication to the greatness
he showed his next 2 years. While.Lange is far superior to Nola as a
freshman, he has to improve to reach Nola which unfortunately hasn't
happened with our past freshmen AA pitchers

I believe all four of them threw sliders which Skip was big on. Lange's repertoire doesn't put nearly the stress on his arm and in particular the elbow, as slider pitchers endure. I agree that thus far the staff has done a pretty good job of limiting his innings, saving him for the late season stretch. He could have easily finished 5 or 6 more starts but that wasn't necessary to achieve victory.
