Reply to "Velo is not Everything in D1"

Saw this at D1baseball.com today (March 3) and reminded me of this thread:

Baseball is not a cookie cutter sport. And that is one of my favorite things about our game. This week, I saw dominance that reflected nearly opposite strengths and styles. It is a joy to watch players become the best version of themselves.

In this week’s Roons Report, I take an in-depth look at impressive players from Arizona, Grand Canyon, Oregon State and Southeastern Analysis.

Check it out:

Pierson Ohl, RHP, Grand Canyon

Ohl dominated Oregon State on Friday night and he did it with an 88 mph fastball. His pitch sequencing was off the charts good and he was 2-3 pitches ahead of the Beaver hitters all night long. Ohl finished with an astonishing six strikeouts looking. Here is the remarkable part: the first three were on curveball and next three were on fastball. Ohl’s elite strike-throwing comps to former Fullerton star Thomas Eshelman. This outing was a clinic on pitchability.
