His slider fricking sucks though. Just spins and spins and spins and stays in the zone forever saying “hit me! hit me!”

He reminds me some of Hilliard years back, if he can't locate the 12-6 curve for strikes, he's in trouble or if he elevates his pitches, he gets hit hard. His fastball needs movement without any other pitches or he needs a great changeup or slider. I was hoping they would pull him after he gave up the one run, they were hitting him hard before the bomb.

I’ve never seen Guidry not give up a homer in an SEC appearance

He gave up zero in the regular season in 2023. He gave up 2 in 13 SEC appearances in 2024.

LSU won a World Series with Chad Jones only throwing fastballs

1. That’s not true. He threw a slider and a fastball. 2. He pitched like 6 innings the entire season

I didn't say it was good. But he actually throws 4 pitches. Two different fastball variations, CB, and SL.


His effectiveness, or lack thereof, is a result of having a FB that regularly sits 91-92. When he gets hit, he gets rocked with loud contact. When this starts to happen, he still start to nibble.

All that said, Most of the time he is missing bats, but i dislike how Jay wants to use him for multi innings all the time. Give Cowan another inning, or Allow Sheerin to set up him going into the 9th.

That’s such an outlier for him. His fastball is not at the level where you just throw it in any count and dare them to hit it.

This is your only post on Guidry this season, endorsing him as a multi inning closer

May I ask what exactly you are referring to in your post when people were telling you he was unhittable?
