Rob Rasmussen debuted as UCLA's Friday starter, not juniors Brooks and Brewer or Yankee-spurner Gerrit Cole or . :shock:

Mephistopheles · February 22, 2009

Well he's going to be an oustanding college pitcher. His fringy average fastball from the left side won't be a big deal, it's actually an above average D1 fastball for a lefty and his curve is probably the best in college baseball right now. He's gotten it over 90 some lately, but if he can get his fastball to hover near 90, he'll be an excellent major league prospect similar to Ted Lilly or Rich Hill, but his command isn't a disaster. He has a curveball as good as Hill's.

Alex Wilson's final line:

Texas A&M              IP  H  R ER BB SO AB BF  NP   ERA

No, Meyer's not at aTm, he's at Kentucky, I just pasted his line there. 2010 potential first-rounders Brandon Workman (Texas) and Matt Harvey (UNC) are expected to throw tomorrow.

I'm just excited because I went to school from 4th - 12th grade with his older cousin and he's from Arcadia and went to high school in Pasadena.

Chance Ruffin got lit up last night. He looked like trash again. His two seam slider combination has been pretty inconsistent thus far. With the wealth of young pitching Texas has, he might not keep his Friday job for long. We'll see how good (bad) he looks on Friday vs Penn State.

I believe UNC was the only top ten team to lose last night. They dropped to Coastal Carolina, iirc.

I believe UNC was the only top ten team to lose last night. They dropped to Coastal Carolina, iirc.

Well, some top 10 teams are guaranteed to lose this weekend since UCI, Baylor, UCLA and Rice are all taking part in the Houston State Classic.

Mephistopheles · February 25, 2009

I know, and my weekend will be better than yours. On Friday afternoon I'm seeing Texas play Penn State, then I'm driving home. Saturday and Sunday will be spent at Enron Field, enjoying the premier regular season college baseball tournament.

soonercub · February 27, 2009

Anyone aware of any webcast of the Houston Classic today? Some good college baseball games today. Thanks

TruffleShuffle · February 27, 2009

On Friday afternoon I'm seeing Texas play Penn State

i'm sure that will be a close one

February 27, 2009

Not sure, soonercub. But you're right, what a great slate: http://houston.astros.mlb.com/hou/fan_forum/college_classic.jsp

1. Texas A&M vs 5. UC Irvine

Houston vs. 6. Baylor

9. UCLA vs. 10. Rice

Just today.

http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/college/weekend-preview/2009/267719.html

Here's a look at a few of the Classic matchups that figure to be the most fun:

No. 1 Texas A&M vs. No. 5 UC Irvine

The first game of the weekend (at 1 p.m. Friday) is a dandy, as the top-ranked Aggies take on the fifth-ranked Anteaters. This game features two of the nation's fiercest lefthanders in A&M's Brooks Raley (1-0, 1.50) and UCI's Daniel Bibona (1-0, 1.17) the latter of whom carried a no-hitter into the eighth in the season-opener against Hawaii. Both teams also use pressure offenses, though the Aggies have considerably more explosive bats, while the 'Eaters out-execute just about everyone. This will be the first-ever meeting between these two programs, and it should be a treat.

No. 6 Baylor vs. No. 9 UCLA

This Saturday game pits Baylor sophomore righthander Shawn Tolleson (1-1, 7.50) against UCLA freshman sensation Gerrit Cole (1-0, 0.00). Tolleson has a great arm and could be a top-two-rounds draft pick as a redshirt sophomore this June, but Cole is something else altogether. Cole, an unsigned first-round pick of the Yankees and the nation's No. 1 ranked freshman, used a 94-97 mph fastball that touched 98, an 85-88 slider and an 81 mph changeup to dominate UC Davis in his collegiate debut.

"We get Gerrit Cole—and I like our chances against that better than against the guy throwing 84," Smith said. "We hit in our intrasquads all the time—we knock our guys pretty good. Then we get in games and nobody's throwing like Kendal (Volz), so I think it's an adjustment. I think some of our guys will be a little more comfortable playing some of these power arms."

No. 10 Rice vs. No. 1 Texas A&M

The Saturday night game traditionally draws the biggest crowds at Minute Maid, largely because it usually pits Rice against either Texas or Texas A&M. This year it'll be the Aggies, who figure to throw junior righthander Alex Wilson against Rice ace Ryan Berry (0-0, 9.64). Graham said he's leaning toward flipping his top two starters so Mike Ojala (0-0, 1.42) goes Friday night against UCLA and Berry goes Saturday. The reason is because he wants catcher Diego Seastrunk to have a day off from catching in the middle of the series, and he wants freshman Craig Manuel to catch Berry. The junior righthander was hit hard in his 2009 debut, but he has experience pitching on a big stage and against Texas A&M, whom he faced in super regionals each of the last two years.

"They should have a huge crowd for that A&M game Saturday night," Graham said. "We could have over 20,000 fans Saturday night."

One talent evaluator who was at Wilson's A&M debut against Wright State last weekend reported, "Alex Wilson is the real deal. He was 94-95 with a wipeout slider and good command." Wilson struck out 14 and allowed just one walk and three hits over 6 2/3 shutout innings.

"The Aggies, of course, are really loaded, especially now that it appears Wilson will be everything they hoped," Graham said. "They were already good without him, and they've got a real chance to do something if they've got enough offense."

Gerrit Cole throws hard. Real hard. Alex Wilson looked good. Ryan Berry was immaculate. Great day of pitching at Enron.

Mephistopheles · March 2, 2009

Lots of rain outs east of the Mississippi today. So some top prospects didn't get any action this weekend.

The lack of Sammy Solis pitching is a bit odd. I couldn't figure out if he was hurt or not. He's San Diego's Friday starter and didn't get into any action this weekend. USD didn't have any rainouts this weekend and played five games this week. It could be nothing, but he's their ace. Curious. Evan Danieli didn't throw for the Irish either. If you will recall Danieli is a 6'8" high school teammate of Rick Porcello out at Seton Hall Prep.

Good to see Tepesch get on track against a good opponent. And especially good for Mizzou to snap their 7 game skid to end the season opening road trip.

Brandon Workman threw a no-hitter today.

Bah, what could have been:

HOUSTON–Alex Wilson’s outing against Rice is over, and I must say: he looked a lot like he did as a freshman at Winthrop. Back then, before his Tommy John surgery, Wilson relied upon a 91-94 mph fastball and a good slider. Today, he relied upon a 91-94 mph fastball and an 80-83 slider with bite. I did not see him exceed 94 mph with his fastball, but he hit 94 often. He also flashed an occasional changeup. Wilson’s final line: 6 IP, 3 H, 2 ER, 3 BB, 7 SO.

"With me coming off surgery, it’s a confidence boost to know I can go out there and compete–not that I ever doubted myself from doing it before, but for the first time in two years facing a top-10 caliber team, it’s fun," Wilson said afterward. "You want the ball in those kind of games. I think I was able to control my slider very well today, mix it in here and there. I actually threw several changeups, which was probably my least effective pitch."
