Starter
Our starter is our typical Sunday starter -- junior
lefty Alex Young
He's 9-2, with a
2.05 ERA (18 earned runs in 79 innings)
Opposing batters hitting
.210
19 walks and 77 strikeouts in his 79 innings.
Key Reliever
Key tonight could be our pen, specifically RS seniro
righty Trey Teakell
Teakell has pitched 39.1 innings in 25 bullpen appearances this year
His record is 1-1, and his ERA is
1.60. He has more SOs (36) than hits (33) and he's only given up 9 runs (only 7 earned). Opponents are hitting
.229
Teakell is available for several innings should Young get in an early jam or have a rough night.
Righty Relievers
Of course, junior
righty Riley Ferrell is available to close or in relief.
Things haven't gone his way his last couple outings -- he's taken 2 losses.
But still, opposing hitters are hitting
.090 and has ERA is
1.29 in his 28 innings this year
Another junior
righty,
Preston Guillory ought to be available for limited work.
He has looked great the last half of the year.
17 appearances, 22.1 innings,
0.00 ERA.
Opposing hitters are
.143
If we get into a save situation, watch whether Schloss goes with Guillory or Ferrell to get a clue as to whether we should be concerned about Riley or if he's just been unlucky.
RS sophomore
righty,
Brian Trieglaff is available for some pitches
17 appearances for 23.2 innings. Given up 11 runs (8 earned) with a
3.04 ERA
Opposing hitters are
.264
Big positive number for Trieglaff is 32 SOs in the 23.2 innings.
Lefty Relievers
(our bullpen is weaker on the lefty side, by far)
Senior lefty
Travis Evans is likely our first lefty out of the bullpen.
12 appearances totaling 8.0 innings; 4 runs (all earned), opposing hitters are
.267
Freshman lefty
Drew Gooch had his redshirt pulled when Ryan Burnett got injured
He issued a 4-pitch walk earlier this weekend and got yanked. Otherwise he's a fresh arm.
He's had moments that you can tell he's going to be good, but he's young.
9 appearances for 7.2 innings; 5 earned runs for an ERA of 5.87.
Opposing hitters are .387
Gooch would either be put in out of desperation, in a blowout or as a situational pitcher where you need a lefty for an out or two. Don't expect to see him for extended work.
