Reply to "Surprised by Your Own Player"

I’m in a weird spot, as I have so much confidence in my son, as I get more excited than nervous, when he pitches.  Though, I think he’s surpassed my expectations of him so far.

His first outing as a freshman was our first series last year against South Carolina when he struck out 6 in 3 IP.  That included coming in relief with 2 out bases loaded, where he struck out the batter on 3 pitches, The only run he gave up was a solo HR to Wes Clarke.  Given how well Mr Clarke has been playing, I think that’s a nice momento😃

Although he’s only had 3 starts this year, he’s actually top 5 nationally in ERA, WHIP and hits/9.  He pitched 5 no hit innings his first start, gave up a solo HR in the 7th his 2nd, then a 2 hit shutout his last start.

I expect bumps along the way, but hope he continues to play well and surprise us along the way.
