We just picked up Shaffer(SELA Friday starter) who throws 92-94. We picked up Eric Rayzelman in the portal who throws mid 90s and touches 97. He also is killing it in the Cape Cod league so far. We have Lansville coming in who throws mid 90s with true weekend starter capability. We have Grant Fontenot and Grant Taylor who both throw low to mid 90s, both ranked Top 160 prospects this year. Plus we are rumored to be after 1-2 more in the portal.


Their Friday night guy only pitched 40 innings?

Shaffer threw 40 innings with a 4.95 ERA

Stuprich threw 81 innings with a 2.31 ERA

Warren threw 91 innings with a 2.57 ERA

Doesn't sound like the Friday night guy to me. Hell even Kinzeler threw 70 innings with a 4.33. Usually when someone says Friday night they mean their best guy. But he wasn't even a top 3 guy on their staff.

Ok did some research. He pitched on Fridays for the first 2 or 3 games. Got shelled. Then the next few outings were 3 or 4 innings on Sat or Sun... Still got hit pretty well. Finally finished the second half of the season pitching 1 or 2 innings on weekdays. Quite the quick fall from grace. He was great in 2020 though. For the shortened season. But to call him their Friday guy is disingenuous.
