Devils should score; hopefully some pitching help coming too.

They are gonna score runs but where is the pitching?

There are quite a few arms coming back, including of course, Cole Carlon. Hopefully some of those guys improve. It does seem like another solid starter would be good, though, at a minimum.

I’m not sure that is a wise strategy if that is what Willie and staff are actually thinking…hoping guys improve who are returning. I’m hoping guys like Halvorson and Schaefer, among others, go play summer ball and they find something and return being able to take their elite arms up a notch or two.

They are bringing in Colby Guy plus 4 freshman arms. The problem is it’s tough to bring in good pitchers without a decent bag and I’m not sure what the ASU collective can manage for baseball. Additionally you have, currently, a lame duck manager as well. That doesn’t help.

I would like to see competition and force guys to earn their opportunities. I think they have been missing that. Given all the position players they are bringing in plus the returning guys plus a couple I think might not get drafted and return and there will be plenty of competition in the field. Give me that in the pitching staff

Current list of incoming transfers:

Kole Klecher (P) TCU
Colby Guy (P)-UNC-Asheville
George Bilecki (OF)- Lewis University

Dean Tiogu (IF) UNLV
Garrett McMichael 1B VaTech

I would expect a few more guys to be brought in and I would expect those to be pitchers

PJ Moutzouridis is supposed to be very good, especially on defense - I am looking forward to seeing him next year at SS.

Added 4 more pitchers plus I understand 7 freshman arms are slated to come in but the draft may change that number

Some speculation ASU is working on a CF from USC who entered portal very late in the process

George Bilecki was drafted in 12th round so I wonder what that does to his transfer. Seems a good enough draft position but what is that slot value and does he think playing another year at a higher collegiate level will improve his draft stock?

Here is where ASU draftees were selected.

Such underachievement last season, given the talent Bloomquist and Co. had to work with.
