I am excited to announce that I will be furthering my academic and athletic career at Bluffton University. I would like to thank my family, friends, and all of my coaches over the years for supporting me and my dreams. @BlufftonUBsball
Look forward to following LHP Landon Beidelschies (@RazorbackBSB) closely this season. After spending his Freshman season in the bullpen, Beidelschies last year made the jump to the rotation and pitched his way to a 4.15 ERA with 91 Ks to 31 BB across 84.2 IP.
Physical build at 6'3" and 225-pounds with particular strength in his lower-half. Simple operation that has improved and become more powerful since his Freshman year (when this video was taken). Ultra-abbreviated arm stroke and attacks from a three-quarters slot. Blocks well with his lead leg, really drives back side through.
Beidelschies' FB sits in the 91-94 range, but has been up to 98 with some carry at the top of the zone. He'll need to miss more bats with it, though. That will come if he's able to improve his control of the offering which, in turn, would help optimize its shape. Most effective in the top-1/2, where it gets over the barrel of opposing hitters.
His calling cards are his secondary offerings. Beidelschies will throw his mid-80s gyro SL to both right and lefthanded hitters, though it is much more effective against LHH (they hit just .135 against it in '24). It will flash two-plane tilt with some late depth. Can back foot it at times against RHH. Curious to see if he's able to add some teeth to it this spring and beyond. 41% miss rate last spring.
Mid-to-upper-80s CH is an effective weapon against RHH, who hit just .200 against it last season. Was impressed with the strides he made with the pitch - it's clear he became more confident in it and was throwing it with more conviction. Flashed plus with big time late tumble - that "falling off the table" action. Threw it just 11% of the time last year (generated a 46% miss rate), but I'd like to see that tick up in 2025. Strike-throwing across the board took a step in the right direction between '23 and '24. Average command and control.
Beidelschies will be a key part of Arkansas' rotation this spring, during which he'll have the opportunity to cement himself as a pro starter. 3rd-5th round type right now.
700 Wins!! The Green Bears win 2-1 in the 9th inning to give Coach Hardman his 700th win! Final score, Ottawa Hills 2 Whiteford 1. Incredible baseball game. @snyderjackson13 went 5 innings, 3 hits and 5 k’s. @noahhamilton24 went 4 giving up 1 hit and 5 k’s. Congrats Coach
#Astros Justin Verlander was in the league with Julio Franco, who was intentionally walked by Jim Kaat, who allowed a pair of hits to Ted Williams, who made his big league debut against Lou Gehrig, who hit four home runs off Walter Johnson, who once beaned Cy Young.
Your support will go along way in helping us make improvements to our program. This year, Memorial Field will get a face lift with new infield mix, laser grade, mound rebuild!

Special shout-out to Class of 26, freshman, @FinnGenzman26 who was thrown into the fire today in the 11th inning and worked 3 scoreless innings with 4K’s and helped himself with a base hit. Strong debut, keep working Finn! Go Green Bears.
I remember tears running down his face when the surgeon told @GoikWarren at age 5 that his arm was fine after elbow surgery and he could do anything, except pitch a baseball. 13 years later, here he is recording his 1st collegiate out.
So proud. Sometimes the experts are wrong.
RHP @CamDarrington
FB: 85-88mph T93mph
CB: 70-71mph
CH: 75-77mph
Coming off a successful FR. season, he continues to improve his stock.📈 Worked an effective 3 pitch mix, running the FB up to 93mph. 🔥
I’m excited to announce that I have accepted the position as Pitching Coach at @HobanBaseball. Can’t wait to get started with this group! #GoKnights ⚔️
