Tulane’s Baseball Twitter has some interesting stats from the first week of practice. Specifically it lists the fastball speeds of a number of our pitchers. If accurate, some of the “new guys” can really “bring it.” Tyler Hoffman (95.3), Blake Mahmood (95.2), Jake McDonald (94.9), and Turner Thompson (94.6). Others with 90+ fastball recordings include Zach Davito (91.4), Aaron Ball (91.1), Kennedy Norton (90.3) and two-way player, Camryn Szynski (90.1).
Some of our returners appear to be throwing harder than I recall also: Keegan Gillies (94.6), Donovan Benoit (94.3), Brandon Olthoff (93.8), Trent Johnson (92.5), Robert Price (90.7), and David Bates (90.6).
Whether they can consistently reach those speeds in a game or whether their pitches have the necessary movement is yet to be seen. But those numbers are impressive.
Roll Wave!!!
