Carlos Rodon Watch Thread

Well, what did he do?

 

Here's a stream from NC State's athletics website.

No commentary, but here's the audio link.

I thought the WP should have been a passed ball.

 

He's done. 3 HBP and a wild pitch.

Shaky from the beginning, but you have to like how he recovered.

I was always a fan of the HBP stats. Shows that the pitcher like to work on the inner half.

 

A lot of pressure on this kid... if he succeeds, you know you have a possible gem as he will have shown the ability to handle the pressure of maintaining the #1 pick status. If he fails, his stock will surely drop.

He only had 16 last year, and I think it is safe to assume a better catcher in the pros can handle his pitching more. Having a slider like his and knowing it can hit the dirt must be tough to pick from time to time.

I noticed that he had a pick off in the first inning of the game at third. I couldn't track down the stats on it last year, but is he known for having a decent pick off move?

 

Rodon is no longer a lock for 1.1!!!

But seriously folks, let's not do this thread. This will just tend itself to people getting AR about a handful of bad starts, which are bound to happen.

And God help us if one of those bad starts is against Rice ...

 

As I've said all along, I'm in favor of Rodon 1-1. But he's not as invincible as some on here would think.

you know you're elite when 6IP, 4H, 1ER, 1BB, 6K is unacceptable...

i LIKE this kid!!!!!!!

 

I like how people like to bring up the Rice but Rice still lost.

 

Rodon will be on the mound this afternoon against Appalachian State. First pitch is at 3 Eastern.

 

8 IP
5H
3 ER (5 R total)
9 K's
3 BB
108 Pitches

 

It's Friday. But Carlos Rodon won't be on the mound today.

Instead, he'll start on Saturday against UCLA in a game that is being held at Team USA's complex in Cary, North Carolina. First pitch is at 4:30 Eastern.
