WEEKLY COLLEGE UPDATE FOR FORMER TEAM USA PLAYERS

 

WEEKLY RECAP: 4/6/2009

  • We're trying something new at the Weekly Recap page; instead of listing both a summary of the better weekly performances and the cumulative season stats, we're breaking them up into two pages: a complete weekly stats page and a separate season stats page; should make for a little easier downloading and viewing... you'll find the link to the cumulative stats over on the left-hand menu, or just click here...
  • This wraps-up the seventh week of the 2009 college baseball season and we're well on our way to the end of regular season play…
  • Amazingly enough, San Diego State junior Stephen Strasburg combined on his 1st shutout of the season; what's even more remarkable is that his "poorest" outing of the year was the one that netted him the shutout... Strasburg pitched 6 innings allowing only 3 hits while walking 2 and fanning 6 batters, the first outing ALL YEAR he failed to log double digit strikeouts... go figure...
  • What else does a guy have to do? Missouri junior Kyle Gibson bounces back from a bad start with a gem, but winds up on the losing end; this past Friday Gibson logged a complete game against rival Oklahoma, pitching 9 innings of 6-hit-baseball, allowing 2 runs while fanning 15 and issuing only 1 walk; but with only 1 run from Mizzou's offense, it wasn't enough to get the win...
  • Arizona State junior Mike Leake notched his 7th win of the season, giving him a win in every week since the season began; from the looks of things, there's going to be a glut of pitcher's in the 1st-round of the MLB Draft come June...
  • After 2 "no-decisions" and a loss to begin the year, San Diego junior A.J. Griffin has come on strong; Griffin has won 5 of the last 6 games that he has appeared in, the only glitch being a "no-decision" two weeks ago...
  • Oregon State junior Kevin Rhoderick has a weird stat; over each of the last 6 weeks, his weekly ERA has been: 9.00, 0.00, 9.00, 0.00, 0.00, 18.00... truly feast or famine...
  • No Show's: 3rd straight week without an appearance by Clemson sophomore Josh Thrailkill... 2nd week for Rice junior Ryan Berry... 2nd week for Baylor sophomore Shawn Tolleson... 4th week for Santa Clara junior Tommy Medica (reportedly out of the season)...
  • At the beginning of the year, not many people were thinking much, if anything, about Arizona junior catcher Dwight Childs; but Childs is making people take notice as his string of "hot weeks" keeps growing; since starting the season 2-for-11, Childs' average has increased each week, with the exception of one; here's his weekly cumulative average: 0.000, 0.182, 0.292, 0.333, 0.308, 0.383, 0.397; Childs is picking the right time to get hot as we head into the final weeks as MLB draft-boards are starting to get put together; and Childs' premium position puts him in a whole different class; if he keeps up his current clip, there's a good chance he could break in the first 3 to 5 rounds... 

  • After more than 3 weeks without a dinger, Miami freshman Harold Martinez belted 3 just this week!

  • Fresno State junior Tommy Mendonca notched his 12th round-tripper of the year and sits atop the group in power production this year...

  • California junior Blake Smith and Auburn sophomore Hunter Morris share a distant second place on the HR Leader Board with 6 each...

  • 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!
