Goldstein's face and hair--I couldn't find a pic of his shaved sides and mohawky hair, but here's his "Jersey Shore" tough guy look.


FWIW, they all had "mohawky" hair... the whole team did it before the playoffs. And none of these kids are from Jersey. Just sayin.
As it turns out, there's a town called Stonybrook a couple miles outside of Omaha: LINK

Coincidence or fate?
Facts: Stony Brook hung up 3 runs against LSU's #1 pitcher, while LSU only put up 1 run against Stony Brook's #1 pitcher.

What does this mean? Well the way I see it, all things being equal, Stony Brook will likely put up around 6 runs versus LSU's #3 pitcher, meaning LSU will have to put up 7+ runs to win the game. LSU scored a combined 6 runs in Games 1-2, meaning they will need to perform at least TWICE as good in Game 3 to stand a chance. Meanwhile, Stony Brook only needs to perform equally as good to outscore LSU.

I'm not a betting man, but if I were, Stony Brook seems like the safer pick IMHO.

FWIW, last year Goldstein was ranked the No. 1 HS prospect in NY by BlueChipProspects.com... LINK

They describe him as a "legitimate 5-tool player, runs extremely well, 88-90+ mph fastball"

For anyone who doesn't know what "5-tool" means, here's a breakdown:
1. Hits for power (.497 slugging)
2. Hits for average (.345 average)
3. Plus speed (15 stolen bases)
4. Plus arm (90+ mph fastball)
5. Plus fielding (2 errors)

In the history of the MLB, there have been few other legitimate 5-tool players. Examples include A-Rod, Barry Bonds, and Ken Griffey Jr.

I think it's a pretty even matchup. Oh yea, and he's still just a freshman.
