Gavin Schrader's two-run homer in the fourth inning began a seven-run outburst for No. 21-ranked Troy and Houston Markham's two-run single broke a 4-4 tie in the fifth in an 8-5 win over Louisiana in a Sun Belt Conference series on Saturday at M.L. "Tigue" Moore Field at Russo Park.
He needs a fastball to the shoulder or hip. The fact it hasn't been done yet tells all you need to know.Quote:

Whereas a guy like Martinez was looking for the biggest payday he could get regardless of where. In the NIL era we still got a guy like LP last year. He could have easily pitched in the SEC for any program and been a force.
And then you have to identify potential. Guys not highly sought after that you believe you can develop. Can be a big gamble. It’s easy to identify big talent that every other recruiter sees. We have to identify those not so obvious recruits.
It’s not much different than the past. We have to do more with less. There are ways. We just start behind the 8 ball, but we always have.
It’s one thing to bring talent in. It’s another entirely to develop it. Look at Martinez. At UL: .64 walks per inning. At ASU: .27. Flip it to the hitting side and look at the averages of our veteran hitters. Serious problems with this coaching staff.
Jack Martinez is having a great year at Arizona St.Quote:
