What?

@KendallRogersD1: TRANSFER NEWS: Though #LSU could not confirm, I’m told that LHP Jake Latz is leaving the program. 90-93 lefty w/ potential when healthy.

That would really suck. Hopefully someone can convince him otherwise. That amazing pitching class is starting to not look good at all. Who did we get out of it so far? Lange? Seems like all the other promising potential just left and our big stud pitcher last year is like Wild Thing Vaughn decapitating people because he has no control. Has McKay improved in summer league play at all?

Seems like we're missing on a lot of pitchers lately. Poche staying just got more important.

CPM had to have really pissed him or his family off. He is was on a short list of Saturday starters assuming Poche is leaving. A really puzzling move on his part.

I'm sorry but if he is still not healthy then it's best to just move on

Def wish him the best of luck bc when he's 100% healthy he is great

He's improved significantly after his first start.

10.1 IP, 1 ER, 9 K, 7 BB, 8 H, in his last two starts.

Last start was 6 IP with no ER. He's getting better each time out.

From a person very close to the situation. Jake did not like how Mainieri and the training staff have handled his injuries over the last 2 years. Which is why he flew out of state multiple times to get "second opinions" didn't trust LSU or their doctors.

Makes you wonder what this mysterious "non throwing" illness has been.

Yeah he's obviously still not healthy. This would make zero sense otherwise

That's good. He has a ton of potential. I hope he develops into an ace for us.

I thought I remember reading under his freshman year he wanted his arm to heal naturally which LSU advised him at it being a huge mistake? Unless I'm thinking about someone else...or was that a rumor? If true, not sure how that would be LSU's fault.

This all makes sense. Not saying it's correct, but I could see it. Wish him the best wherever he goes. Really sucks how his career has gone to this point.

Yeah that was him. LSU advised him to have the surgery almost 8 months before he had it. He wanted to do it au natural... But his rehab he was doing back home did nothing. When he got back here for fall ball he pitched a couple times and the had to have the surgery. LSUs staff was kindof in a "told you so" position. So it pushed his readiness back significantly. He thought he should have been pitching the whole time Mainieri, Dunn, and training staff had shut him down.

Wish him luck, he never seemed to be a fit here. When healthy he has the chance to be great.
