Yeah, you can't DH for the right fielder.Has to be pitcher. Complicated rule tho. Pitcher can DH for himself and if he comes off the mound can continue batting in place of new pitcher. But DH is only for pitcher.

Who is the last stud catching recruit that we got? Is there a free baseball recruiting site? D1 has the names but no rankings really.
Great reporting Connor, loved the lines from Winnay (via NUKES) in here.
He was a C in name only. Played more 3B than anything else in HSI think there was a recruit catcher out of FL a few years ago that got drafted and never came to Wake.
Edit: Looked it up - Jackson Miller. Drafted w/ the 65th pick in the 2020 draft.
Was Nelson out just to give Morales a look? I really expected him to pitch.
That was a shot. Definitely hardest hit ball last night.Reinisch had a late game foul ball over the visitor's clubhouse. Might have been the hardest hit ball of the night. So many good things about last night's game.
Expected same once he was not starting in CF.Was Nelson out just to give Morales a look? I really expected him to pitch.
Awful night at the plate for sure, and I was very surprised the scorer didn't give him a hit on the ball he put in play.I honestly don't think he has gotten 1 hit this year batting left handed, The last hit he got was a homer at UVA. Even though the scorer wasn't kind tonight. Could have easily given him a hit, rather than an error.
Sorry, just don't have an answer. I guess so ... but it's a complete guess.Was Nelson out just to give Morales a look? I really expected him to pitch.

my other bullpen hypothesis (that i want to believe is true) is that a huge part of what we do well is using analytics for pitch strategy.
for example, last year sean sullivan came in as a crafty threee pitch lefty but when we looked at the data it made more sense to throw high fastballs. similar with cole roland who was previously a standard fastball-first guy and we switched to leading w his changeup.
but obviously you can’t do that type of analysis without data for our analytics team to work with. i suspect as we get more more and more data points we will see adjustments and better results
Fair enough.nelson was scuffling against VT so a day off could be good and there is some excitement about morales and getting him more PAs. don’t think there is anything more to it.
Not really worth looking ahead too much, but if we can find a SP or two, then we are set to be pretty damn good again next year (especially if we can hold on to Winnay).One of WF top recruits for the 2024 HS class is catcher Matt Conte. He has excelled at all of the Spring/Summershowcases including the Area Code Games. As long as he doesn't go in the 2024 MLB draft, WF should have a top rated catcher next season.
I'm all aboard on Leffew and Morningstar as SPs for next year. I think both can be really goodNot really worth looking ahead too much, but if we can find a SP or two, then we are set to be pretty damn good again next year (especially if we can hold on to Winnay).
