WEEKLY COLLEGE UPDATE FOR FORMER TEAM USA PLAYERS

 

WEEKLY RECAP: 4/27/2009

  • 4/27/2009: Week 10 in the books; Important upcoming dates:
    • End of the regular season: May 17th
    • Conference tournaments: May 20th
    • Regionals: May 29th
    • Super-regionals: June 5th
    • MLB Draft: June 9th
    • College World Series: June 13th
  • Don't forget, cumulative season statistics are now located on a different page; click the link in the menu bar on the left...
  • Several players displaying some power this week as the weather warmed across the country; most were not the usual suspects:
    • Christian Colon, CS Fullerton – 3; Kentrail Davis, Tennessee – 1; Derek Dietrich, Georgia Tech – 1; Micah Gibbs, LSU – 2; Grant Green, USC – 1; Harold Martinez, Miami – 2; Hunter Morris, Auburn – 3; Matt Newman, Arizona State – 2; Blake Smith, California – 1; Riccio Torrez, Arizona State - 1
  • Hunter Morris, Auburn’s reigning SEC Freshman of the Year, doesn’t project to duplicate his award-winning season during his sophomore campaign; while his power has progressed, he lags behind in most other categories; Morris still has over a dozen games left to catch-up in those other areas, and if this week’s performance is any indication, he just might…

  • While Arizona State sophomore Matt Newman lacks the pedigree of Morris, Newman is showing some nice progression; if Newman continues at his current clip, next year could be a break-out season…

  • San Diego State junior Stephen Strasburg followed-up last week’s complete game shutout with a less-stellar performance, but still enough to notch his 9th win of the season to remain a perfect 9-0; Strasburg went 7-innings, allowing 3 runs on 4 hits while fanning 14 of the 26 batters he faced; Strasburg owns the NCAA Division I lead in K’s & K/9IP, and is among the top-5 in ERA; while it’s unlikely he goes on to break the NCAA record for K’s in a season (234 – set by Derek Tatsuno of the University of Hawaii in 1979), his 17.2 ratio is a good bet to break the K/9IP record of 16.8 set by Ryan Wagner of the University of Houston in 2003…
  • Arizona State junior Mike Leake keeps making it look easy; Leake notched his group-leading 10th win last week, making it 10-straight weeks with a victory (that’s every week since day 1)…
  • With the June draft looming, Vanderbilt junior Mike Minor is getting hot at just the right time; Minor’s 13 K outing this past week is his 4th double-digit strikeout performance over the last 5 games, the only game not in dubs during that time was a 9 K effort…
  • A win is a win, no matter how ugly… that’s Missouri junior Kyle Gibson’s mantra this week after he logged his 7th win; even though he gave up 7 earned runs on 9 hits, he was still credited with the win; he did fan 9 batters though, to keep him among the NCAA’s top 5 leaders…  
  • No Shows: Scott Woodward (3rd week); Victor Sanchez (4th week); Ryan Berry (5th week); Josh Thrailkill (6th week); Tommy Medica (presumably out for the season)…
  • There's so much more that we just can't get to, but the weekly stats below and cumulative season stats HERE should give you an idea of who else is hot and who's not; check back next week for more updates...
