2024 Wake Baseball Thread: What Did We Do To Deserve This?

[80deacon]

fwiw, eric alder was so bad a few years ago he stopped dressing for games and speculation about him needing to return for his senior year to redeem himself was also common but he ended up getting drafted in the 6th round and signing.

This past weekend I saw Adler close for the WS Dash vs Rome (Braves). Up 5-3 he held them scoreless, 2 SO and 1 fly out, and only 2 or 3 balls IIRC. Throwing 95/96. Extremely accurate.Gone was the characteristic "taking a dump squat in the woods" before the pitch. I saw him at Elon his last year, come in for relief. (He'd lost his starting position). I swear it seemed he threw 10 balls straight before being yanked. Something was very different compared to his last year at Wake.
