Fall Scrimmage Thread

[SPAL]

I will update this thread with pics and notes from the scrimmage today. If anybody else makes it out, come say hello.

[flippinhogmana]

thanks brother, SPAL, I suppose you are going to give us some sort of player eval too, hope, hope?

[SPAL]

I'll do it but it will be later.

[SPAL]

Isaiah Campbell on the bump for the cardinal team....

[SPAL]

#7 grounds to ss and can absolutely fly. Error on the SS gets him to 2nd

[SPAL]

I don't have a current roster....#5 up, Cody scroggins with a blast to the gap. Plates #7, I'm assuming Simms. Dude can fly

[SPAL]

1-0 grey

[SPAL]

Spanberger pops out to 2nd

[SPAL]

Jack Bennighoff with a nice single between ss and 3rd. Scroggins scores...2-0 grey. He has a nice compact swing.

[SPAL]

Nomura walks

[SPAL]

Bernal up with 2 on and 1 out....Campbell has some nice offspeed stuff.

[SPAL]

Campbell also has some pop. Strikes out bernal....shock....on what looked like a splitter

[SPAL]

Campbell hitting 91 on the gun

[SPAL]

#30 on the mound for the gray

[SPAL]

Walk issued....sporadic and wild right now.

[SPAL]

#8 lines out to SS

BONFIELD up now

[SPAL]

I will try to fill in the blanks on these names later

[ucahogfan]

#30 is Hunter Hart.  He is a Sophomore JUCO transfer with some talent.

#7 is Simms just like you assumed.

#8 is Eric Cole.  A freshman with some potential and a lot of speed.

[SPAL]

Another walk

[SPAL]

#30 is Hunter Hart?

[ucahogfan]

Campbell hitting 91 on the gun

This is encouraging to see.  He topped out at 89-90 in high school, but is a very young player and has the size to throw in the mid 90s during his time on the Hill.

[SPAL]

Walks the based loaded....thanks UCA. MUCH aporeciated

[ucahogfan]

#30 is Hunter Hart?

According to the roster that Scott7703 posted in the fall ball thread.

[SPAL]

19 , a lefty up now

[SPAL]

Slow hit ball to first, can't turn 2...run scores 2-1

[SPAL]

Andrew bolin walks

[SPAL]

Tucker pennel walks. 2-2....

Switching sides

[SPAL]

Bennighoff is a vocal leader....has the look of a stud.

[ucahogfan]

19 , a lefty up now

Austin Catron.  Junior JUCO transfer.  He was one of the new names I had never heard of.  He is a switch-hitter.

[howie76]

Thanks spal...made me smile reading this!!+1 as always

[SPAL]

Once Campbell nails down his control, he can be a nice addition. Nice fastball, good offspeed.

[SPAL]

Silky grounded out

[SPAL]

Matt Sanchez walks

[SPAL]

Simms....he is going to excite. Just legged out a bunt that was put in no man's land. He CAN FLY

[SPAL]

C-span squared one up but just can't buy one. Sac fly

[SPAL]

Simms, Bennighoff, spanberger from left to right in the of

[SPAL]

Hart is a little guy. Maybe a buck 60. Throws a little 3/4 arm slot. Nasty changeup for a swinging K the. Hits the next guy

[SPAL]

Silky at first, Nomura and bernal up the middle

[SPAL]

Scroggins at 3rd

[SPAL]

Closer look, he may be about 180...

[SPAL]

Drew Tyler at SS for the red team.

[SPAL]

Jordan Rodriguez on the bump now. Anitger small guy, a lefty....comes from a 3/4 slot.

[SPAL]

He is an offspeed guy. Crafty as they say

[ucahogfan]

Simms, Bennighoff, spanberger from left to right in the of

Interesting to see this alignment in the OF.  With our OF all leaving from last year, all three spots are open.  I think Benninghoff and Bonfield are two guys who will start out there with the third spot being open right now.

[SPAL]

Kyle pate in for the gray squad

[SPAL]

Interesting to see this alignment in the OF.  With our OF all leaving from last year, all three spots are open.  I think Benninghoff and Bonfield are two guys who will start out there with the third spot being open right now.

Gonna be hard pressed to keep Simms out. He ran down a tough fly ball with ease that would have likely been a hit

[SPAL]

Grant koch with a hard hit ball that ate bernal up. Was a tough play....I. Scoring it a single

[SPAL]

Pate with a little sink action gets the DP

[SPAL]

Pate still struggling with control. When he dies find the zone, it is high. He needs to get it down or he will get killed.

[SPAL]

J rod is all junk all the time. Strikes out silky on a curve ball that he was way out in front of
