    Doesn't Jax stream their games? Only one behind the plate/field view camera, but better than nothing.

    121 financial is the minor league park. Their camera setup is not awesome, but it’s better than the single behind the plate view at JU. Don’t know if they’ll televise an exhibition game though. It costs money.

    That's a lot of new guys. Fall ball is always so fun to see the freshmen players that rise to the top and show they really have a chance to contribute during the season.

    It’s my understanding that Tues and Wed practice/scrimmages will not happen due to the weather. I’ll file a report after Saturday’s activities.

    #25 Fr Kolt Myers INF (St. Augustine)

    3B
    #13 So Landon Stripling INF (Texas Tech)
    #6 Sr Bobby Boser INF/OF (USF)

    SS
    #10 Jr Colby Shelton
    #11 Fr Brendan Lawson INF (Toronto)

    LF
    #24 So Blake Brookins

    CF
    #1 Jr Justin Nadeau (JU)

    #2 Sr Ty Evans
    #30 Jr Ashton Wilson

    BP

    The following players hit homers during BP:
    #28 Heyman, #24 Brookins, #29 Donay, #6 Boser and #11 Lawson


    Scrimmage Report for 10/8/24

    We started top of the 4th with Orange at bat. Each pitcher had one inning.

    BLUE pitchers:

    #23 Rs JR Billy Barlow (Clemson) RHP: 7 hits, 5 runs, 2 walks, 0 K; 26 pitches

    #9 So McNeillie RHP: 0 hits, 0 runs, 0 walks, 1 K; 11 pitches

    #47 Fr Aidan King (Bryceville) RHP: 1 hit, 1 run, 1 walk, 1 HBP, 1 K; 22 pitches

    #15 Fr Joshua Whritenour (New Port Richey) RHP: 0 hits, 0 runs, 0 walks, 0 K; 6 pitches

    #33 Fr McCall Biemiller (Tampa) LHP: 0 hits, 1 run, 1 walk, 1 K; 22 pitches

    #37 So Matthew Jenkins (Santa Fe CC) RHP: 2 hits, 4 runs, 1 walk, 1 K; 27 pitches
    A little note about Mr. Jenkins. His pitches ranged from 77 to 93 mph, and the delivery looked just the same to me. I’m sure better analysts could see some difference, but all in all he’s got a great change up. On the low speeds the ball tended to drop down so it missed the strike zone, but I’m sure they’ll be working on that.

    He only went 1 2/3.. 2 Ks 0 runs. Won that one 4-1(7)

    Won 2nd game 9-5.. Put up 9 on 12 hits in first 3 innings. Fabian started at SS both games I think. Didnt see box for game 2.

    I might have missed but do we have a “fall” practice schedule? I saw the posters but only had a few dates.
