WEEKLY COLLEGE UPDATE FOR FORMER TEAM USA PLAYERS

 

WEEKLY RECAP: 5/25/2009

  • 5/25/2009: Week 14 in the books; some conferences, such as the PAC-10, do not have conference tournaments, so those players continued with the regular season this past week; Important upcoming dates:
    • End of the regular season: May 24th is the final day for all schools regardless of conference
    • Conference tournaments: May 20th for those participating
    • Regionals: May 29th
    • Super-regionals: June 5th
    • MLB Draft: June 9th
    • College World Series: June 13th
    • … remember, cumulative season stats are on a separate page…
  • An old feature that we haven't covered in a while is back: AFLAC Stats; the page link is in the left menu bar...
  • A new feature that we added a few weeks ago is college stats for the '09 USA National Team Trials invitees...
  • San Diego State junior Stephen Strasburg finished the regular season by giving beltway baseball fans a collective cold chill down their spine; Strasburg was removed from the game after 7.2 IP, holding his back as he left the mound; the apparent "injury" was downplayed immediately after the game by Strasburg who stated it was just "back cramps" due to inadequate fluids in the Texas heat; there's no reason to doubt this claim as Stras remained in the dugout during the rest of the game and met with reporters after congratulating his teammates on the win; however, there was no denying that this was not the Stras that has showed up all season, going 7.2 IP, allowing 3 hits, 1 walk and 6 strikeouts; this was only the 2nd time all year that he notched less than 10 K's; obviously, he pitched an effective game, but scouts at the game reported his stuff to be "less than dominating", with several hitters making contact; guess we'll all find out Friday when SDSU makes their first post-season appearance of the century with Strasburg taking the mound...
  • Out there in the desert of Nevada lurks the heir-apparent to the reins of Stephen Strasburg's circus-like draft hype; in a few weeks we'll be exploring this prospect; he goes by the name of Bryce Harper...
  • Fresno State junior Tommy Mendonca added to his ridiculous power numbers this past week, going yard 3 times in the WAC tournament to give him 27 jacks on the year; in a down year for college bats, Mendonca has been one of the few exceptions; but his 60 K's in 260 AB's will likely keep him out of the 1st round next month...
  • Rice junior Ryan Berry, sidelined for over 6 weeks after a dominating 4-0 start that included 3 complete games of which 2 were complete game shutouts, ended the regular season in a similar dominating fashion; Berry went the distance allowing just 1 run on 2 hits, striking out 7 batters and issuing just 2 walks; dismissed from 1st round consideration after languishing on the DL, Berry could feasibly be a surprise in the late first round or sandwich round; definitely one to keep an eye on...
  • Memorial Day cut this one a bit short and 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...
  • Check out our ebay store as we carry several of the players featured below and will be listing much more throughout the upcoming weeks leading up to the draft!
