Stanford Baseball TO THE CWS! - Spike - 01-08-2022

I see that we are in the top ten in several rankings. I’d love to start talking baseball.

Interesting that we're ranked so high. I'm bullish on the offense, even with the loss of three from our starting lineup. However, we have a lot to prove on the pitching front. Alex Williams is an All-American candidate (boy was he a stud late last year), but I don't believe there's really another pitcher who is bordering on stardom. Quinn Mathews is solid but has a ways to go before becoming a star. And, we had four freshmen last year who showed promise, but have even more to prove.

All that said, if the young pitchers develop over the course of the season, Stanford could have one of the top teams in the country before the playoffs begin. My two cents.

Ranked as high as three. I will add as I can.

Hitting Coach Tommy Nickerson was naned the Head Coach at UC Davis He was replaced by Steve Rodriquez the former volunteer coach. Rodriquez has been on the staff now three years. He played minor league baseball for 6 years and and was the starting catcher at UCLA for three years

I’m guessing Dowd is very much alive and meant to have been our second starter?

BC


RE: Stanford Baseball - BobK - 01-09-2022

Third starter after Mathews

Better now


RE: Stanford Baseball - Maple Leaf - 01-11-2022

My first question for this upcoming season is regarding the offense approach that Stanford will try to play, will it be "small ball" or "long ball"?

My second question is the pitching/defense, will Stanford try to get ground outs or strike outs?


RE: Stanford Baseball - JJJ - 01-11-2022

Doesn’t answer any questions but thought this might be of some interest. (Just the ranking. The rest is paywalled.)

RE: Stanford Baseball - BobK - 01-11-2022

Our 2022 class includes catcher Malcolm Moore one of the best in the country
McCatchy HS Sacramento


RE: Stanford Baseball - BobK - 01-17-2022

Two catchers for this season
Kody Huff was great the second half of the season while Vincent Martinez faded after being solid the first Half.

At SS Adam Crampton returns and at 3B Drew Bowser is back. Extremely solid on the left side both defense and offense. Two top players


RE: Stanford Baseball - Phogge - 01-17-2022

Alas, once again avoiding playing SFSU.


RE: Stanford Baseball - BobK - 01-17-2022

RE: Stanford Baseball - martyup - 01-17-2022

This is going to be a fun season.  We have a catcher from McCatchy and a pitcher named Uber.  CI, what do you make of this?


RE: Stanford Baseball - BobK - 01-17-2022

The McCatchy catcher is still in HS marty. A 2022. But yes on the Uber, :)


RE: Stanford Baseball - Phogge - 01-17-2022

Is he Uber Alles?


RE: Stanford Baseball - Papa John - 01-18-2022

Looking ahead to fall 2023 (2024 season), Ryan Speshyock, pitcher, is a recent commit from Dos Pueblos High School in Goleta, CA.

Can he get Lyft and throw the mythical rising fastball?
