Yes. It's been talked about for a little while.

He started the spring with his name at the top of the list. And idk about "88-90" mph.

Adam's write up earlier in this thread.
Eric Walker much like Jared Poche doesn't have a wow factor. The 6'0 right handed pitcher works low on the mound and absolutely pounds the zone with relentlessness. He's great a mixing pitches and working fast where he throws an average fastball 88-90mph with downward life, an average curve ball, and what I find a great off speed changeup that may be average to above average. Walker is not a strikeout pitcher and won't be his freshman season, he keeps the ball low in the zone at all times which is critical to inducing ground balls. At the #3 starter LSU doesn't necessarily need an electric arm but rather a dependable arm that will provide a quality start more times than not. Eric who was a former quarterback at the 6A level in Texas continues to show composure on the mound during spring scrimmages where he's not falling behind counts, I've been very impressed with the way he's turned over the lineups as of recent

Random thought:
How many games into the season before Lyn Rollins says
"Jake Slaughter-ed that ball ! " ?

I'd be happy with pre-Cardinals Mike Leake type stuff from Walker. That's kind of how that write up reads.
I say pre-Cardinals, because when Leake realized he had a bunch of guys with concrete feet and hands playing behind him last year, he tried to be more of a strike out guy than pitch-to-contact guy and his results went south.
A guy that forces hitters to just keep pounding the ball into the ground is extremely frustrating to face.

Mark you waited 7 years to post about a pitcher who started a couple of midweek games?

Additionally, Lyn Rollins is the master of creating nicknames that only he uses. #maurepasmasher

What happened to Cole McKay
He's demonstrated an alarming inability to consistently throw strikes. When he focuses on throwing strikes he gets pounded. When he doesn't he piles up walks. He has enormous promise, when it comes together for him, he will be a weapon.

Cole's going to start in the pen this season, if and when he starts throwing strikes he'll get bigger duties.

On the subject of shite that doesn't matter right now and no one should really worry about:
Based on our number of current commits, we are at 45/35 for next season, 50/35 for the one after that, and 50/35 for the one after that. These numbers are pre-any type of attrition (draft, transfers, etc).

Next year Cabrera, Enlow, Pearson will all be top 5 rounds. That's just the really good ones. Several from this team will transfer or be forced out a la wofford, and the ones who want to be tigers will come. Simple.
