WEEKLY RECAP: 3/2/2009

  • Prospect Nation proudly supports the Fellowship of Christian Athletes; each week we'll highlight a FCA MLB player at the bottom of the Weekly Recap; this week features Braves star Jeff Francoeur YouTube video interview, check it out below!

  • The second week of college baseball is in the books...

  • San Diego junior Stephen Strasburg is proving that the hype is justified; after two starts the young phenom has pitched 12.1 innings and has rung-up 27 batters en-route to a 2-0 record with a 1.46 ERA; Stasburg opened the year with a 5.2 inning 3-hit gem that saw him strike out 11 while allowing no earned runs; start number two saw 6.2 IP with 16 (yes, SIXTEEN) K's as he faced 25 batters, however Strasburg showed he was mortal as he gave up 2 earned runs on 5 hits; this will be an exciting college baseball season if for no other reason than following Strasburg's march toward the record books...

  • Another gem was seen on the campus of Rice University as junior Ryan Berry tossed the year's first complete game shutout; Berry went the full 9, facing 29 batters, striking out 12 and allowing only 2 hits while walking none...

  • Arizona State junior Mike Leake picked up his 2nd straight win going 8 IP, fanning a cool 10, walking 1, but allowing no runs, earned or otherwise...

  • Tyler Wilson, Virginia's sophomore righty (not the Red Sox '08 draftee of the same name as I've been told more than once by his mom), notched his first win of the year out of 3 relief appearances (2 this past week that saw him K 9 of 20 batters while allowing 2 hits but no runs)...

  • WEEKLY DINGERS: Dwight Childs, Jr, Arizona (1); Jared Clark, Sr, CS Fullerton (1); Kentrail Davis, So, Tennessee (1); Harold Martinez, Fr, Miami (1);                     Tommy Mendonca, Jr, Fresno State (2); Matt Newman, So, Arizona State (1); Victor Sanchez, So, San Diego (1); Jordan Swagerty, Fr, Arizona State (1)

  • Santa Clara junior catcher Tommy Medica with a notable week: 7-for-12 with 2 2B's and 4 runs...

  • There's so much more that we just can't get to, but the weekly and season stats below should give you an idea of who else is hot and who's not; check back next week for more updates...
