Are there any Wake baseball fans out there that can speak about the probable rotation? No doubt Wake can rake but do they have the arms to make any noise?

I stopped by Gene Hooks Field for the 1st day of practice Friday and spoke to coach Walter for a few minutes (full story on the site). Sounds like Parker Dunshee on Friday and Will Craig on Saturday. Sunday is still a question mark, with a few options at this point. Should be a fun season.

Among the starting pitcher options are a graduate transfer from Furman, Ryan Morse (Morse also is an OF), freshman Rayne Supple (was drafted by the Cubs out of HS), and sophomores Parker Johnson and Drew Loepprich. Donnie Sellers may have the best arm of the team, but it appears that Coach Walter wants to use Sellers out of the bullpen.
The fact that Craig is a scheduled pitcher in the weekend rotation and no other pitcher brought in looks like a sure starter, I'd say the off season was a fail.
We started strong last year (8-6 ACC) only to go on to win only 4 more while losing 12! Pitching was a major problem and O became a problem as the season progressed.
With the rest of the division progressing, don't see us fairing much better.....but we play the games to see. We might end at .500 in ACC (vs .400 last year....seems like we were one win away from making the ACC, or maybe that was the year before....can't remember), which might get us to the tourney, but I think we will exit early....
