What position do you think he'll play in the Bigs? His bat is awesome. Pitchers come at a premium, but just sayin.

 

[Nicktheslick]

He’ll definitely be a position player and the fact that he’s a lefty with 95+ stuff means he will get a shot pitching. They don’t call him Cagtani for nothing. Control will dictate how much.

If he gets control nailed down, he'll definitely get a shot at pitching. But he's got such a powerful bat it wouldn't surprise me if he becomes a DH when not pitching.

 

[Nicktheslick]

With his length a little bit of wildness can make him extremely effective. I faced a guy in high school. 6-6 lefty flamethrower. Trouble was you didn’t know anymore than he did where it was going.

It's a no brainer to lock in a coach who's had consistent CWS appearances as well as multiple top ranked recruiting classes.

Agreed. He's done a fantastic job. One of the top programs in the country.

Gators can mash, but pitching will determine whether Florida wins the College World Series

On paper, the Gators are loaded. Jac Caglianone is the headliner. If the pitchers perform as hoped, Florida is primed to win its 2nd College World Series title.

I’ll go ahead and predict the pitching will be outstanding. There’s simply too much talent not to. If one or two guys falter there will be someone else ready to jump in.

In all the (merited) enthusiasm for this season, everyone kind of skipped over the fact that we’re starting a true sophomore and a freshman on Friday and Saturday nights. It’s only one game, but our pitching approach looked a lot like last year. Everybody throwing electric stuff but we went innings without throwing a strike.

Liam Peterson is the real deal. Gators dominate UNF. Rematch Wednesday in Gainesville.

When the pitching settles in and roles defined this team will be solid.

 

[bradleygator]

Peterson looked incredible. And fisher in relief.

 

[bradleygator]

Wonder who’s pitching tonight? Thought it was interesting we pitched Peterson midweek. Maybe that’s why he only threw 3 innings, so he can pitch Saturday.

 

[ocalaman]

My guess is Caglionone starts tonight, but on a pitch count like Peterson was last night, so he can start Sunday's game.
