It hasn’t been a dominant outing for Blue, but he’s kept his composure and is giving UC some MUCH needed length today.
This could be Blue’s last outing of the year, but I’m extremely encouraged by his ability to contribute for a Top 25 team as a true freshman. The Baby Bull from Illinois won’t be a baby when he returns next season.
What is the pitching strategy for regionals?? ⚾️
Game 1: Louisiana
Game 2: Mississippi St (presumably)
Game 3: MSU or Louisiana again
Which game are you assigning to each pitcher assuming this is the rotation👇
If you don’t know the name Connor Blue, it’s time to learn.
The Freshman has been in the rotation since April 12th. Since, he’s given the Bearcats 19 innings, allowing just 15 hits, adding 12 Ks.
Blue has added length to the Cincy pitching staff and they’ve won his last three starts and consequently, four straight series.
Baylor ties it at 2 after Blue induces a double play. He is then relieved by Buczkowski, and the side is retired.
Niehaus ➡️ Tyranski ➡️ Coats in the 5th.
