D1Baseball Scouting Report on Eyanson from his time with Team USA this summer:
Anthony Eyanson, RHP, UC San Diego/LSU - Showing a loose and quick arm from a high three-quarter release point, Eyanson impressed at the trials. He filled up the zone with a 95-97 mph fastball and a hammer-time 12/6 breaker in the upper-70s. It showed as a plus-plus offering with consistent spin and control with repeated spot-ups to his armside. He also showed a harder version of his breaker, a power slurve at 83-84. There also looked to be more in the tank with his No. 1. It’s a pitch that could very well bump into the triple-digits as early as this fall in his new home of Baton Rouge.

Herring got $797.5k.

I won’t fault a pitcher for take sure money. Injuries are just too coming but damn you have to think he could have played his way up the draft and double or tripled that.

That’s a pretty good pay day for a reliever. Can’t fault him for that

Pitching will be nasty next year.
I think the eventual weekend will be Shores, Eyanson and Schmidt in some order. I know we like anderson, but the velocity those 3 bring and the breaking balls and movement from Eyanson and Schmidt is going to be hard to beat out.
It also give us a lefty long reliever we can be flexible with and use like a Cooper/Herring type.
A pen of Anderson, Sherron, Mayers, Ware, Primeaux, Cowan and Guidry should be pretty nasty.

I’m not saying Shores can’t start. I do wonder if perhaps it is not that obvious. He would be great at the back end of games
Posted on 7/24/24 at 10:19 am to Lester Earl
I think he’ll probably be given an opportunity.
They may treat him like Jump but he looked better as a freshmen than Anderson, and I think he probably would have become our 3rd starter again if he didn’t get hurt.

From the way Jay talked about him in the interview on Mahtook's show and this being his draft year, I don't see him doing anything but being in the starting rotation from start to finish next season. May not get stretched out early in the season but I'd still expect him to start.

There is going to be an effort to start a LHer if possible
Shores was great IIRC, but I don't remember him starting at all
Not that he can't or won't

I seem to remember him struggling to put hitters away and pitching a little more to contact which doesn't seem as conducive to a reliever role. But I just looked up his stats from 2023 and he had 15 Ks in 18.1 innings so maybe I'm misremembering
Posted on 7/24/24 at 10:31 am to Lester Earl
I don't think any of these spots are obvious. There's a whole lot of potential but very little proven production at this level. Cowan was great last year, but at Wofford. Anderson looked good in spurts but didn't start much in SEC play. I think every role is pretty much wide open. Should be exciting.

When you have his stuff & you aren’t putting guys away, that has more to do with pitch calling. He was throwing a ton of fastballs

Started against W. Mich, Sam Houston, Central Conn and UNO. He didn’t go very far they were pretty conservative with his pitch count. Never threw over 75, got pulled after 35 a couple times.
But 60-75 pitches should have gotten him farther but still

I follow a lot of early season and midweek in the game threads, so didn't recall seeing him throw much, esp as a starter
Thank you for the recap

Cant really blame Herring here, thats a lot of dough for his body of work so far and in a great minor league org on top of that.
I thought he was going to get well over that slot but thats even higher than I was thinking.

Yeah hard to see Shores not in the weekend rotation, maybe early on they keep him limited but he's got all the makeup to be a Fri night guy. Anything can happen though. If he struggles to be efficient, that would be tough to have in a fri/sat night starter.

The who starts opening weekend is going to be interesting.
I think Shores will start opening night, that' shouldn't surprise anyone.
I think Eyanson will end up in that Saturday role by default after spring practice.
What do they do Sunday? Go with Cowan who's a workhorse and eat up innings? Start Anderson who will arguably be their best lefty and give a different look? Start Schmidt and slowly build him up.
There's definitely going to be projectable long relief options which will mitigate the "starter needs to go 5-6 for us to have a successful weekend"

NCAA just increased baseball scholarships to 34 starting in 2026. I don't believe this adreses/impacts roster sizes (yet) but I could be wrong.

Starting for fall 2026 or 2026 season?
