Weekend starter?
Ability to do so, if not this upcoming year perhaps the following. Mot draft eligible until 2028
3.75 FIP
Only 4 starts
But the stuff looks absolutely legit. Hopefully, at worst, a key bullpen arm.

Another small school transfer. Awesome!!
Pitching at a small schools is much easier to scout than hitting
A 13 k/9 and an upper 90s fastball as a freshman should translate anywhere
He went 3 IP 7 K 1 BB 0 H 0 R against OU this year
Currently at top 100 prospect for the 2028 draft

I think he'll start off as the midweek guy and have a chance to get into the weekend rotation. If Moore's not back and 100%, he'll probably be the Sunday starter.
I think Jay will show some loyalty to Evans, Schmidt, and Moore early but won't hesitate to make a change if necessary.
Paz and Rickin will have their chance as well, but this guy will be starting in a good spot due to his command.

Between Casan, Schmidt, Moore, Paz and now Hood. You have 5 legit arms competing for a rotation spot. I think Casan and Schmidt will both vastly improve next year after a full season starting. Pitching could be elite next year.

Not getting amped for a pitcher from Gonzaga. Will wait to see how he looks with my own eyes. Not falling for that shite again.

Guy had a .86 ERA in his last 42 innings. He struck out 7 OU batters in 3 innings without allowing a hit in his 3rd career appearance. Take a lap.

We need several pitchers. I wouldn’t call what we have elite by any stretch. The pitching staff was awful and the major reason we were .500 overall with a losing record in the SEC.

This pitching staff, when healthy, has a ton of talent. The coaching staff is supplementing that with good to elite guys like Hood.

look at what pro scouts think of the guy. thats what I go by when looking at smaller school guys

Wonder what role he is expected to fill?

His mechanics are already really good. None of that bullshite we had with guys like Rizy and even cooper Williams this year where they turn/sway their body the other way when delivering that makes the pitch fall outside constantly.

Will that be able to get us in the regionals at least?
Posted on 6/5/26 at 5:33 am to Mbeloso
Feels like this year's Eyanson. And off we go
Posted on 6/5/26 at 6:17 am to Mbeloso
I don’t know anything about him but he could end up being elite

Not sure if this is the answer you are looking for, but in Adam’s season preview, he had Ethan Plog listed as a high leverage reliever and Plog ended up with the highest ERA on the entire team.

All kidding aside, a big concern with translatability of the low walks is whether or not he will get squeezed by the strike zone of SEC umps as well as potentially better plate discipline of SEC hitters. But on paper looks great addition through the portal!

not counting on Moore for anything. If he is the same guy and ready, great. That'll be lagniappe
