[QUOTE="eokerholm, post: 925898, member: 5007"] Finateri started out in the rotation last spring after impressing in the fall, but he struggled and soon wound up in the bullpen, where he had his ups and downs. He’s a stocky bulldog righthander who attacked at 88-90 with good arm-side run against Kennesaw, along with a sharp power slurve at 79-80 and a good fading, deceptive changeup. Like Hill, he spent the summer in the NECBL and should benefit from the experience. How Georgia Tech’s talented sophomore arms develop will be a huge key in 2023, as lefthander [B]Cody Carwile[/B] is in the same category as Finateri, Hill and McGuire — he’s flashed plenty of promise and needs to take the next step. Like Finateri, Carwile made three starts last year and logged 30-plus innings, and that experience should make him better going forward. He missed some time with a knee issue this fall, but Hall said he checked out fine and should be on track for the spring. Another lefthander who could factor into the starting mix is junior [B]Dalton Smith[/B], a seasoned fourth-year player with seven career starts under his belt. A funky, deceptive southpaw who can touch 90 with a plus changeup and a useful sweeping slurve, Smith had the most dominant fall of any pitcher on staff, according to Hall. The aforementioned [B]Jackson Finley[/B] is another front-runner for a starting job, right alongside Hill and McGuire. Finley’s athleticism plays well on the mound, where his lightning arm produced 93-96 mph heat in an inning against Kennesaw State, along with the makings of three decent secondary pitches in his 77-79 mph three-quarters curveball, mid-80s slider and 88 mph changeup. Finley has come back strong from the Tommy John surgery that cut his 2021 freshman year short and limited him in 2022, and he’s got superstar potential if he can harness his huge stuff — and/or his huge power at the plate. “I kid him all the time, ‘Are you the next Ohtani?’ We hope he is,” Hall said. “He’s always been able to throw hard, but I think he and Coach [Danny] Borrell have worked very hard on his package, his slider, curve and change. We see flashes of all that coming together. It’s all there, just a matter of him getting out, getting comfortable and getting going. I would almost classify him as like Jake DeLeo — we all believe in him, just needs to take that next step. But definitely a guy in that weekend starter group.” [/QUOTE]
