[QUOTE="eokerholm, post: 925897, member: 5007"] [B]Pitching Staff[/B] Georgia Tech faces considerable uncertainty on the mound after losing its top four innings eaters from a year ago (Huff, Marquis Grissom Jr., John Medich and Maxwell). The three returning innings leaders ([B]Dawson Brown[/B], [B]Logan McGuire[/B] and [B]Aeden Finateri[/B]) each logged fewer than 40 IP last year, and each posted ERAs north of 7. In short, this team is very light on proven commodities on the mound — but the depth of pure talent is awfully intriguing, with an enviable blend of lefties and righties. Brown, McGuire and Finateri are all capable of performing better than they did a year ago, and they will now be counted upon to assume more prominent roles on the overhauled pitching staff. Like his father (former big league great Kevin Brown), Dawson Brown’s calling card is his heavy sinker, which can sit at 92-94 when he’s right. He had minor knee surgery in the offseason that caused him to get off to a late start this fall, but he was ramping up over the last month, and Hall said his slider looks better than ever before — and improving that pitch is the key to his development. “Dawson’s just one of those guys that it’s taken him a while to develop, but he has a tremendous upside, and I think tremendous talent,” Hall said. “If it all merges then we’re gonna have a guy.” McGuire is a key breakout candidate heading into his sophomore year, and he looked the part of a legitimate ACC weekend starter in my look against Kennesaw State, breezing through a 1-2-3 inning while showing three quality pitches. A loose, athletic 6-foot-3, 180-pound righty with a high slot, McGuire attacked at 92-95 mph with an 83-84 mph tumbling changeup that flashed plus, along with a mid-70s curveball. He is one of the front-runners for a weekend starter job along with 6-foot-6, 220-pound lefthander [B]Camron Hill[/B], who posted a 6.57 ERA in 24.2 innings as a freshman. A live, wiry-strong athlete with some crossfire action to his three-quarters delivery, Hill worked at 89-92 in my look this fall, showing a 77-80 mph slider with tight spin in the 2600 rpm range and very good tilt, along with a changeup that he lacked feel for in this outing. He struck out the side in his inning against KSU, escaping a bases-loaded jam unscathed by getting a lefty to chase a tough slider down and away. “We really think Hill has a chance to be great,” Hall said. “He had a great summer in the Cape closing, but he’s got a good slider, a good changeup. He’s hovered all fall at 90-92, and we believe in him. I think we’ll build him as a starter but just because of the experience in the NECBL of closing, we know we could close him as well.” [/QUOTE]
