February 10, 20241 yr UCF uses ticketmaster for baseball tickets. There is also a premium on Texas games. $40 a seat vs $11 when they are playing Oklahoma State. Glad we are going to UCF once.

February 12, 20241 yr Author So apparently it is not a lock that Witt will open the year as a starter. Seem to be toying around with the idea of potentially using him out of the bullpen. I did think it was interesting that he didn't throw/start in the alumni game in what you would think is his typical throwing day (Saturday) if he was a starter.
February 12, 20241 yr Author I saw where the preseason WCC poll came out, and San Diego was picked to finish 2nd with a handful of first-place votes. Should be a good test to open the season. 2024 WCC BASEBALL COACHES PRESEASON POLL 1. Santa Clara - 58 points (5) 2. San Diego - 54 points (3) Portland – 54 points (1) 4. LMU – 38 points Saint Mary's – 38 points 6. Gonzaga – 37 points 7. Pepperdine – 19 points 8. San Francisco – 16 points 9. Pacific – 10 points

Not to be a downer, but that can’t be a good sign, right? Alternatives: 1. The BP needs work, they feel Witt can provide help to begin the season. 2. Witt isn’t ready to pitch a SP’s pitch count. Bring him back slowly through the BP. 3. They don’t trust his stuff (at this point) to be a starter. 4. Someone besides LBJ and Hurley is showing promise. 5. Some combination of the above. If Witt starts in the BP and the intent is to work him back as a SP, I’d assume he is a middle reliever. However, maybe he gets a look at closer? Just spitballing. I’m probably off on all of this.

It’s probably some combo of everything you mentioned, but we are guessing because no one has seen the guy throw since last July in the Cape Cod league. Maybe they want him to fill a bullpen void until someone like Luke Harrison is back? Maybe they would rather build him up from the bullpen than risk running them out there as a starter and experiencing early struggles? The other unknown in this is the 3 freshman arms we’ve barely seen throw in live settings. I’ve heard Easton Tumis has been up to 95 and will be a good one, but is that as a starter or reliever this year? Edited February 12, 20241 yr by Hookem2147

Did you hear that about Witt somewhere? It might not be a bad idea to use him some in the bullpen to see how his innings go, but in the last interview Pierce did say he was hitting 93 some. Not far from where he was as a freshman, but he is also a pretty good control pitcher when he is on. LBJ didn't pitch in the alumni game either and we only use a total of 7 pitchers in the game and Shaw pitched an inning for both sides.

They like where Hurley is at, and I think I even suggested a while back that maybe they start Witt out on Sundays in case he has a blowup outing. Easier for the bullpen to absorb. Never crossed my mind that he wouldn't open in the rotation at all. They typically try to get these starters on a routine leading up to the season to where they are throwing heavy on days they will start, so I'm not shocked that LBJ didn't throw in the Alumni game. He probably threw the day before in some capacity. Edited February 12, 20241 yr by Hookem2147
