I know the competition hasn't been the greatest, but they are doing what top level SEC pitchers should against lesser competition.

Marceaux
11.0 innings
0.00 ERA
0.36 WHIP
0.108 bat avg against

Hill
10.0 innings
0.00 ERA
0.40 WHIP
0.118 bat avg against

Beck
3.0 innings
0.00 ERA
1.67 WHIP
0.111 bat avg against

Combined
24.0 innings
0.00 ERA
0.63 WHIP

Several other young pitchers have looked very good also.

Let's hope that Labas and Fontenot can be a little more consistent like they are capable of being.

Pitching overall looks to be deep enough to make a run if offense is good enough.

Beck has pitched 3 IP & has had 6 base runners

That’s not good

Beck has done what he does every year, allow runners but not runs

Not surprised Landon Marceaux has the best stats on the staff

He's gone out and done his job for three years while other guys get all the hype.

Marceaux turned down a million dollars to come and pitch for LSU. I hope he has an all American season.

Marceaux looks awesome. He’s in great shape too compared to past years. Release point looks good, not spiking as many balls

I agree with the high number of base runners for Beck, but look at the details.

15 batters faced
6 outs on hit balls
4 walks
3 Ks
1 hit
1 hit batter

He has the stuff to get batters out as long as he throws strikes. Clean up the walks and he will be great.

7th year player Matthew Beck kind of is what he is at this point.

He’s in his 5th year in the program. He kind of is what he is at this point.

If LSU can make it to a super regional and never have to pitch either "veteran" arm, unless it's a blowout, in Beck or Vietmier, it means our BP has come along nicely.

Neither one of them are big time SEC bullpen guys. Our young arms will have to come along to make our bullpen great, and I believe they have a great chance of doing just that. But if we make it far and are depending on Beck and/or Vietmier to pitch in a high leverage situation, then I don't like our chances.

It just is what it is. Viet has never been that great. He was a strike thrower when we had no other options, so he was "good" for us then. Beck has a great curve, but he walks too many people (and always has) to have him out there when shite is really on the line.

Appreciate both their efforts, but they need to be options 5-6 out of the pen. Not 2-3.

He’s walked like 6 batters per 9ip on his career. He’s a ticking time bomb every time he pitches.

Outside of Fontenot it looks like the best bullpen arms will be freshmen.

Blake Money & Floyd are pounding the zone at 93-94.

Edwards has looked great.

Coleman looks like the teams best LHP

Hellmers can be viable

I do think Hilliard can be a bridge piece in the middle innings. He was pitching at 86 the other night, his velo is down and that’s concerning

Anyone know Fowler’s velo from
Tonight?

Hilliard looked better tonight than his first outing. I think he’ll be very valuable. He hasnt really faced live batters in 2 years

Need to get Hilliard back to form like when he pitched 6 innings of 4 hit 1 run ball against Vandy for that terrible 2018 team.
