Burnt Roux: Dexter Jordan

[Dad04]

He'll sign after his freshman year and be out of baseball by the time he would have been draft eligible here.

Stryker Trahan ish without the freshman year.

We have one of the best pitching coaches in the country as our head coach for starters and 1/3 of rosters are made up of pitchers. More pitchers get drafted because it takes a lot more pitchers to field a team.

Wouldn’t that make 2/3 of rosters position players? I’m no math expert but that tells me it takes more position players to field a team.

What you have to consider is that there may be 2 players per position (field wise), with a couple utility players...there are 5 starting pitchers and even more relief pitchers...odds of making a team are best if you are a pitcher

Only 8 see the field, you think the backup Is gonna get drafted? You use all your pitchers.

[CajunEXPRESS]

Totally disagree with your pessimism.....if you are good, MLB will find you.

Maybe not if you don’t get developed.

Maybe not if you don’t get developed.

Maybe the new hitting coach will chat him up?

13 pitchers used during 2018. Only 8 were mainly used. Williams, Cox, Leaumont, Armstrong, and Norman saw very little action.

I’m not just talking about here, It’s like saying why do we get so many more O-line drafted than QB’s..it’s numbers. People also take for granted where our head coach falls in the pecking order of pitching coaches. There are a lot of teams who can hit and only wish they could pitch like we do. Not suggesting talent/development isn’t a issue but year over year we will always have more pitchers drafted no matter who the hitting coach is. Nick Saban will always have more defensive players drafted.

I believe Armstrong got injured again
