Wake Forest v. LSU 6/19/2023
First observation, the Demon Deacons white/home jersey is strange; "Demon Deacons" written in script across the front.

Top prospect Dylan Crews waved futilely at a few breaking balls to whiff against the southpaw Josh Hartle. Wasn't massively impressive; maybe shadows played a part.

Wake sophomore and top 2024 draft prospect Nick Kurtz (1b) with potentially 70 grade hit tool and 70 grade power looks like a big boy (just checked, he stands 6-5). He took a few hittable pitches and gets called out on strikes.
Again, maybe the shadows played a part, but not impressive.

RHP Ty Floyd looking pretty good for LSU.

Hartle's breaking pitches don't seem that impressive, but LSU isn't tracking or hitting them very well.

Hartle eats Crews' lunch again. Swung over the top of a cutter/fastball at 90 mph.

LSU's Tommy White has an interesting body type, interesting overall vibe. Drives in the first run on a swing that wasn't exactly pretty.

Wake Forest leftfielder loses liner in the sun, instead of the 3rd out it's an RBI triple.

Ty Floyd's change-up is much more impressive than his fastball. Nice pitch.

RHP Paul Skenes just called the best collegiate pitcher that Kyle Peterson has ever seen; better than Strasburg.

Wake Forest being undone by their defense.

RHP Paul Skenes just called the best collegiate pitcher that Kyle Peterson has ever seen; better than Strasburg. I’ve heard that before. Casey Mize.
